- This is a guide on the types of tic disorders and the steps to getting diagnosed.
I am not a medical professional, this is from my own research and my own knowledge of having Tourettes Syndrome.
If you think you may suffer from one of these conditions/disorders please contact your doctor :)

I really shouldn’t be watching videos that set off my tics, but here we go!
Same haha
same paha
Same bro lol it's coming
Yep same here
same
I just got diagnosed with tourettes a few weeks ago but I’ve been ticcing for around 3 years so you might not get a diagnosis super quick :)
I'm just stuck on waiting lists and it's been so longgg
Hiyo! If you would be willing to private chat with me like about what they have to do what type of questions so that I can be prepared I would love that!
@@fairestfairy744 ofc I’m always here to help
Can you tell me how it went? How did they test you for it?
Me too 🙏
I knew someone in high school with Tourette’s. He was such a kind young man and it’s a shame kids in school are oftentimes horrible people because I know high school was hard for him. He rarely could sit through a whole class because he was embarrassed that he was being distracting and teachers have even told him to leave. People need to get a grip because it’s not like people can help it and we, as a society, should just be able to go on with our lives as if nothing different is going on.
I guess the one thing I’m curious about is if you regularly see a neurologist for your condition? I used to work for a neurologist but never had someone come in with Tourette’s. Do you meet with a neurologist for progress updates? Are there any kind of treatments available? Have you pursued any treatments?
I don’t know you at all but you seem fun and sweet and I hope you’re happy with who are are and that you don’t give a crap what anybody thinks 😬❤️
6:32 very well said !! that’s why i never fully diagnosed myself with depression and anxiety (even though i knew i had it) until i got diagnosed, because i refused to unintentionally mock those disorders !
I have anxiety and ocd tics. it took a bit to notice but now that i have, they're a bit more persistent and sometimes i gaslight myself thinking i'm just doing it for attention. i can't imagine having tourettes. thank you for making this video.
Yes same!! It’s sooo hard to explain to my friends too 😅
I developed tics a month ago, this really helped!
ive had tics since i was 14 but ive never been diagnosed because shortly afterward i became mute and find it hard to do things such as go to the doctors, but i have been invited into a community of people with diagnosed tourettes and they all know and support me despite my lack of diagnosis
I’ve got anxiety tics, and adhd tics. Didn’t know that’s what they were until now
I think I have ADHD and Anxiety tics to but I have to wait til I get my ADHD or Anxiety diagnosis before saying that’s the cause of my tics :)
@@stars9356 fair enough. I’ve got a diagnosis for both. Tics only started recently and my psychologist said they’re nothing worry about in my case. It’s like my body’s way of shaking off pent up stress.
@@izzierose2 O okay 👌
I have anxiety tics. Whenever I get really nervous, my entire face twitches & I blink so fast and It can be humiliating. I recently developed one where I’ll make a humming noise for like half a second
Recently I've noticed a neck jerking that I can't control. A lot of times I don't even notice at first that I'm doing it. Yesterday I was looking up info on tics to try and find out why it was happening, and then it got really bad. Like a tic attack or something? I'm not sure. But it was the worst it's ever been before and it lasted for like 20 minutes and by the time I finally was able to stop it my neck was hurting so bad I was crying. A little bit ago it happened again, not as bad as yesterday's but still worse than they usually are. I have anxiety and some other mental illnesses, so I think maybe that's it...
Anxiety triggers tics and heightened emotions (especially stress but also excitement etc.) Makes them significantly worse and may be the only time you notice them but if you have tics and anxiety you'd still be diagnosed with a tic disorder unless there's a different underlying condition (or medication that possibly causes tics) that causes it then its still a tic disorder. Talking or thinking about tics makes them get worse and neck jerks are one of the most common motor tics (it was my first one, and my partner who has tourettes' ) and motor tics almost always develop before vocal tics.
I can't remember where I was going with this I think I had a point but I forgot so idk if any of this information is actually useful my bad 😭
Oh yeah I was trying to say the distinction between tic disorders and anxiety tics is definitely getting blurred! There's a lot of research to say they shouldn't be separated
If you still have persistent tics that affect your life in any way its worth looking into tic disorders, coping mechanisms, and eventually a diagnosis
I have been formally diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and I have a neck jerk tic/twitch too. It's not super big but it's noticeable if I'm anxious out in crowded shops e.c.t. (it's only a small jerk but it's quite noticeable)
OMG sorry I’m just a bit happy I’m not the only one with this problem my friends think it’s weird when I sudden jerk my neck or head back sometimes it’s crazy sometimes it’s just random times and it’s weird since it’s like a irresistible urge and sometimes it’s when I here a loud sound or when I touch something weird idk
I have anxiety tics, they’re super annoying! For me it works well to try and relax, it is really hard but sometimes it works. Also try going for a walk may work. Really it’s about finding something that works for you, and then practice practice practice.
I’m not on tictok so I’m glad your making longer format video’s.
tiktok? more like tick talk.
Great video. You explained Tourette Syndrome very well and I like how you pointed out the difference between tourette's and other tic disorders.
My friend has tics and this helped me understand. Thanks.
I don’t normally watch stuff that set off my tics but Zara’s content is so worth it love your channel
Great video! Thank you for making longer videos that are informative, they really help🥰
It's so complicated, I have autism and ADHD and so I've had echolalia, palilalia, echopraxia, palipraxia, and many menta tics (do not know if they have a name) for a very long time... But recently I watched a documentary about tourettes and since then I have multiple tics a day... So I don't know if it's my autism and ADHD that just got hyperfixated on it, or if the documentary triggered my tics or I don't know.
Though I called my local neurology service and they didn't know who to refer me to cause they had never gotten a call from an adult with tics apparently. Anyway, they are not very bothering, just wanting to make sure everything is fine, otherwise I can do anything I want, I just say/do funny things sometimes
I have ADHD so I get tics with that along side with anxiety tics
I love her smile
I absolutely adore your videos!! Even though I do not have tourettes or know anyone who has it, I’m loving to get to know a little bit more of it, so thank you for sharing this with us
Thank you so much, really thank you. My daughter (12yrs) is going through something right now and quite frankly it's terrifying as a parent to watch her go through and have no idea what is going on. Thank you for being brave and sharing it is extremely helpful.
I dont have tourettes or tics, but i clicked on this video because i felt like i didnt know that much about tics! this is really educational and i wasnt very educated about tics! so thank you
I’ve started getting tics around a year ago but it was only noticeable more recently. It’s also getting worse so I am enjoying this video for educational purposes
This has helped a LOT thank you 🥰
Love you vids Zara!!💯💙
After watching this video I really do hope my tics don’t last a year lmao
They literally started all of a sudden like 3 months ago and nobody has an idea why and like I’m freaking confused lol
I've had tics (motor only) since at least about age 10 I think. I never knew what they were and was ok at hiding them in public.
I'm 42 now and I THINK I have what's called Tourettic OCD. I've had more traditional OCD since age 6 or so, with the rituals of touching things as a way of trying to control things or "something bad will happen", but as I've gotten older, the rituals have lessened (I'm too lazy to touch an item 20 items! lol) but the tics have worsened.
My tics are...
- Clenching the right side of my jaw / upper neck,
- Clenching my right upper arm muscle until it trembles,
- Nodding my head about 5-10 times so quickly it looks more like a tremble,
- Quickly and forcefully contracting my upper and lower stomach muscles (this one is exhausting and the most annoying and frequent),
- Sticking my tongue out and up to touch my top teeth. It feels like I need to "stretch" it,
- Blinking one or both eyes very hard and repeatedly, as it feels like normal blinks aren't enough (the left eye is the worst),
- Quickly touching my right thumb to just beside my mouth, making a kiss expression with my lips, and then giving a thumbs up,
- Rolling and widening my eyes as they feel they need to be "relaxed".
The only time I don't do these is when I'm asleep or REALLY sleepy. I've got depression, anxiety, BPD and PTSD also and apparently some of the SSRI anti-depressants like Zoloft are supposed to help with OCD, but nothing's ever made a difference to my tics.
Thank you so much for making this video! 😍
I developed tics really recently, it really sucks, but I have an appointment with a neurological doctor next week.
Is it neurologist that you have to visit to be diagnosed?
@@gn1128 psychiatrists can diagnose it to
I actually do have Anxiety tics but sometimes (like right now) i tic without being anxious so i asked myself questions about it. Thank you for your video!
I've had a non-verbal tick for about 7 years now and I've never been to GP about it because I'm embarrassed about it. But now after watching your video I know I probably have a form of Tourettes so just having a label to put on it makes me feel better about myself. It gets worse when I'm stressed or have anxiety. It also gets worse when I get the feeling someone notices the tick and this makes me do it more when I'm around them. Its awful and this stresses me out even more. Its not nice to have it can get you down so bad. It makes you feel like you have something wrong with yourself mentally and I suppose you have :( But just knowing others have it and I'm not alone is a HUGE help so thanks for the video. Some ticks DO GO AWAY when you have no stress and you stop thinking about it that's what I've found. So you might not have the problem for life but you will always remember it because its apart of YOU but just forget it and be happy and it will go away. I HAVE TOURETTES and if you have to tell someone that because they pick up on a tick just tell them what you have and be PROUD of it. Dont let it get you down.
Really great video Zara ty 4 educating ppl on Tourettees
I have Anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. but no tics at all, or I could just not be noticing them.
i hope my tics are just cause of my autism and anxiety but they're very "violent" for lack of better word and idk if I have vocal tics or not
I also thought my tics could be caused by autism but my doctor said that can’t but they can be co occurring.
Omg I canttt your so pretty!!!!
you are amazing zara ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video!!
Great Video Zara you are an amazing girl!
I have provisional/transient tic disorder diagnosed atm but we are trying to get a tourettes diagnosis! It's taking agers tho! I've got another set of blood tests next week bc they just want to check ntn else is causing my tics!
Zara I love you smile!!
i finally got diagnosed with tourette’s today i’m so happy i’ve finally found out what’s wrong with me lol
idk if anyone is gonna see this but i have tics and i’m scared to tell my mom because i suppress my tics around my family, so i think she’ll think i’m lying since she’s never seen them
omg same
Me too bestie🙏🏻
I've had tourettes for 2yrs and imposter issues and I've had family laugh at me because of that
A beautiful smile Zara.💙❤️
I’ve had verbal and motor tics for two years and just haven’t done anything about it lol. Too scared to go to the doctors
Hey, don't be scared to go to a doctor, if you don't you might have a lot of trouble growing up, also if you go to a doctor, you might be able to go to a therapist / psychologist to 'control' them better or you could have medication to 'control' it a bit better.
I FINALLY TOLD MY MOM ABOUT MY TICS AND SHES GONNA HELP ME GET DIAGNOSED
Great Video!! I wonder how much time it took to edit this...!?
quite a lot!😂
Hi Zara! I love your video! I had a question. I have had tics for 7 months and I fall into the Tourette's Syndrome categorizes. I might self diagnose myself with Tourette's this year or the beginning of next year. I was wondering if it's okay to do that because they don't really hurt me unless I hit or bang things, and they don't cause a lot of problems with school work, but sometimes socializing with strangers is difficult.
(Sorry this is really long) Another thing is that my mom thinks I am faking my tics for attention because I always suppress around my family since they have said that and I'm not sure what to do at this point. In the US I think I'm too young to go to the doctor by myself and I don't know when I'll go again. Do you have any tips that would make it easier to tell my parents that my tics are not something I would ever want to fake?
omg same
Please get your Vitamin D levels tested. I had various tics my whole life until my late 50’s. Mainly head movements and jaw and eye stretches. I went for annual blood test check up and my Dr put me on 50,000 IU of Vit D3 calciferol twice a week for low levels. I noticed a few months later my tics were much less frequent and eventually stopped. Also cured my migraines. Took me years to actually make the connection. 72 now take my D3 regularly
Great video.
i don’t have tourettes but tbh i was just curious! great vid!!
I have ticks but it is really mild I don’t really twitch I just say something really random but it doesn’t happen all the time i probs have a tick go off once every around 10 mins
I was diagnosed with Tourette’s at 23. No previous tics but now I have motor and vocal tics. I was diagnosed by a neurologist medication had now surpassed them a ton
what if you are diagnose with chronic motor tics but then about a year ago i started to vocal tics and also continue to have motor tics
What am i meant to do if my parents get really annoyed when i tic and my tics hurt a lot as i bang my hand on my wall and do other things but my parents don’t believe me and think i am doing it on purpose?
I do not have tourette's but I enjoy your content👍 I, myself, am a 17 year old boy who is diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. I found this out about 2 years ago.
I'm confused I've always said that I have anxiety tics and I've had it for 3 years now but I have complex tics and i have tic attacks but my tics are off and on I could have tics for 1 month and then there gone with only like 5 for the next month and then they will come back again. Could that still be Tourettes or no I'm just confused.
Ive been experiencing shoulder-shrugging tics for a couple months now especially when I get cold it gets pretty outrageous.
I still don’t know what mine are I never got diagnosed I have been ticing over a year I have vocal and motor and I tic almost every day and ,there are some things that set them off ,some days I only have a little tics or I tic a lot I would like if you would help me to think what I might have for I can figure it out and probably get diagnose I just want to find a category that I fall into.and my tics sometimes hurts it depends on the tic
This was an amazing video
Can anxiety tics be really bad constantly?
Recently (past few months) i've developed a verbal tic similar to the 1:26 one you're doing!! it will be random, once or twice then stops for a few hours. I just describe it as random hiccup even though its not. Happens every day. No other type of tics! Not been to the drs for their opinion yet but this video was very helpful :)
Sameeee that was one of my first tics
Great video 😁😁😁
hi i cant get a diagnosis for 4 more months and im starting to belive my tics are anxiety related? i am diagnosed with anxiety so is that a possible reason for them? but also they're vocal but not just when im anxious and i had a CAT scan last year and nothing was wrong so im really confused?
I'm 13 now and I was diagnosed with a tic disorder when I was 8 and then a few years later when I was 10 I got diagnosed with tourettes syndrome which sucks but oh well I have lots and lots of motor tics I have coprolalia ones and yeah it's annoying but I can't help it so I'll deal with it
Is there a type of tics that is really heavy blinking?
Where you blink normally but every now and then you just blink with a lot of force?
So idk if I have tics or not because when I hear a loud noise like a scream my head goes back and I can't help it can you help me out??
My doctor did a MRI wen looking at my epilepsy and he said they found turrets but I have never had a tic so what dose that mean?
I've had eye and face tics for about a year now but it's not really motor or vocal tics, should I get it checked out or just keep an eye on it?
I have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and I've have vocal tics and motor tics for a over a year, Can I have Tourette's Syndrome with ADHD and GAD? I'm very confused.
Thank you you for making this video ilve been haveing tics at night🥰☺☺
soooo i have anxitey and when im stressed i move make sounds and twitch soo what do i do
please tell me
So, I show all symptoms of ADHD and I tic but I only tic when I get stressed so would that mean I have anxiety tics and adhd I'm confused lol (both are undiagnosed because my parents don't believe me so I can't get tested)
So I've been sheltered. My mom never took me to the doctor so I have no records of my tics before 21.. but now they've become self destructive but im not sure how to prove or get a proper diagnosis
Thank you.
You are strong.🤍🌹👼🏽
Does it always start at a young age? Been having some involuntary movements or making noises, nothing i would call chronic.
Before you got diagnosed, were your tics as obvious as now? How old you were when the tics started? I hope you well ❤️
I do nose twitching and facial twitching but idk why I do that if u do please tell me but I think it's anxiety tics
Search Electronic Assault, learn symptoms, and how microwave frequencies can cause many symptoms that you won't learn in class, or hospital.
What is the difference between tic and tourette? When I over stressed panic from nervousness my head twitching my neck vein with head twitching. Is this a tic? Sometimes I'll had little jaws switches too. Is this tic disorder?
I have been having them for only a month and its getting really bad its pulling my neck and its painful its been happening multiple times a day and i dont know what it is.
I have a tic disorder, ive had it for almost 3 years but I got diagnosed a few days ago my doctor says since it's getting worse for me to check in to see if it may be Tourette's but idk I also have adhd and ocd which I think he told me it can follow that (I don't know how to explain it sorry)
i have motor and verbal but i dont do them at the same time, is that normal?
I got diagnosed at age eight I think, and my parents took me to the doctor. The doctor thought I was having seizures, so they took me to the hospital where I got diagnosed with tics. I don’t think I had it for a year though, and I didn’t have any vocal tics until a year later??? I’m confused. Can someone explain how I got diagnosed without what was said in the video?
I have this blink tic and a eyebrow tic where I move my eyebrows up and down and it annoys me but it’s not bad
*I know I don’t have Tourette’s cos I only have one but it may be a anxiety tic or something I like do this thing with my nose where it twitches or you know like when a bunny scrunches it nose up and I have something with my eyes where I like squint for a moments and I do this think where I move my nose and lips to the side*
With provisional tic disorder can you tic for a few days/weeks then it go away for a few days/weeks then come back or is that some other condition
Loved the video and when are you next going live on twitch
in about half an hour!
@@Zara_Beth yay
Ik this isn't ics but do you know what it might be if I keep shaking a lot and keep getting like cold chill type things and twitching/jerking a lot
Idk but I have been like jerking or twitching a lot and getting chills and shaking a whole bunch but just my hands
Sometimes it concerns my friends and stuff and they ask me if I'm okay
Idk if it might be my anxiety or not I just hope you can get back to me and tell me bc I have never had a doctor notice
It never happens when I am concentrated or talking to adults or doctors
So I have had intrusive tics like punching or telling tics for around half a year but I have had twitched like blinking or rolling my eyes for a few years. I am 14 now so I have been struggling with it since quite a young age. My parents think I am taking my tics and I have tried to explain to them a lot that I don't know how I could be taking them. I hurt myself a lot and I also have absent seizures and sometimes my joints will lock up or I will pass out. Do you have any advice for me to convince them that I am not faking because I can't see a doctor without their permission because I am only 14
i think my tics are weird because I have this tic that my head goes back and starts rubbing the back of my shoulder rlly aggressively idk if it’s a tic I think it is
I'm confused if I have any sort of tics because I jerk my neck rly bad for the past few months I'm under the age of 18 and I do have anxiety but I don't jerk my neck particularly in stressful situations another thing is that is I jerk it to the left never the right ive never looked into touretts or any kind of tic disorders but I do a few things that make it sound or look like I have tics or touretts
I don’t like to self diagnose but the only time I “tic” is when I think about them and they’re only motor tics. I don’t know if my brain is just tricking me and I’m just making myself do this or what. Can anyone help me out? I have really bad anxiety, adhd, and I could possibly be on the spectrum too. I’m just interesting in knowing what this could be
Hello i know you might not respond but sometimes i feel like i twitch randomly i cant tell if its twitching or tics i sometimes get that atleast a few times a week does this mean I have tics or just nervous? I didnt watch the whole video yet.
Does having palilalia count as a tic?
Thank you for explaing this, I *think* I have persistent/chronic tics (motor) because I flap my arms like a bird a lot when I'm daydreaming or excited, I get made fun of a lot for it :(
I think I have Anxiety tics, but what makes me worry about it its that I have it since I was so little and it's getting a little bit more, agresive?, I hope I can go to the doctor soon
there are many vids showing surgeries for this but nobody is talking about it. plz make a video on that. is it possible?
i have anxiety, ocd and autism and have had tics since i was 10, i know my tics aren’t to do with anxiety or ocd bc when i tic it makes both worse because i have a lot of breathing tics that i can’t control and happen constantly, i thought it could’ve been chronic tic disorder but some of the tics in my throat are muscle contracting ones but i haven’t had a new tic in about 2 years so i’m not sure if it’s still ctd or mild tourette’s
I have swearing tics, but I don’t have touretts yet. Would it still be considered coporlailia
yes, coprolalia is a type of tic (rarer than many other types) but is not only with Tourette syndrome, other tic disorders and causes of tics can cause coprolalia
I've never seen a doctor to be diagnosed with any tic disorder but I have struggled with multiple physical and verbal tics from the time I was a child. one thing nobody sees to mention is how painful the physical tics can be from doing them repetitively. Horrible knots in my muscles and bruising from not being able to control my movements. Is this something other people battle?
I have little twitches in my leg, head and arms sometimes but I don’t thrill k they’re tics.
This video is so helpful! 🤍
Mine are gradually getting worse, and have been since January but they started in around November I think? I’m not too sure. Once I grow the confidence to, I’m hoping to get diagnosis’s of my mental illnesses/health. I think then it’ll help reduce my overthinking into faking this, when I know I’m not.
I have pretty bad conversion disorder, as well as adhd/add, anxiety and ocd. I do tic at times but not as often if I’m medicated. Right now I’m not medicated and it’s annoying. I bit husbands ear, licked my dogs forehead, flap my arms like a bird and blink a lot.
