Sometimes my OCD ticks were misdiagnosed as Tourette’s. Mostly the noise I felt that I had to make to clear my throat “the right way” but because it was an tick being the result from a goal (clearing my throat) that made them different.

[@BGDMusic]

huh interesting, might be more of what i experience too, some tics anyway. idk but this is good to learn

[@Blubberdiblub]

Bruh big same also me "stimming" when my nervous system is out of control can kinda look like tourette.

[@teek1917]

Thanks for bringing this up and explaining the difference. To expand some on this, I experience both - tics that just happen unexpectedly, that I can't really control - like arm flailing, making noises, something that looks like shivering when I'm neither cold nor weirded out by something, etc. (Tourette's), and other tics, like moving my eyeglasses around, trying to get them in just the right place, that are very clearly OCD-related. I would say that it's perhaps not always that clear cut. While Tourette's is a neurological issue, and OCD is an anxiety disorder, some people experience both.

[@Jgarf]

That’s actually very common with tourettes! And tics in general too. Most of us will do a tic until it feels right. It isn’t necessarily influenced by OCD, although many people have it and it can affect it. I frequently have to repeat tics until I finally “make it feel right” or rather satisfy the urge to tic.

[@BGDMusic]

An interesting documentary I saw was about a woman in Australia with one of the worst documented cases of Tourettes in the world. Her name is Bianca Saez and her tics were severe to the point where she was slamming herself onto concrete and relentlessly screaming. There are two videos on KZbin about her from 60 Minutes Australia and she has her own KZbin channel. It's interesting to see how her attitude about her condition has improved even if her condition itself has not. She has to have special walls and windows in her home so she doesn't hurt herself or break anything

[@U286BRAINZ]

I saw that. I have Tourette’s myself and it made me so sad to see that. It even made me think that may be me in the future, because they didn’t know before that that she would have such a bad case.

I have tourettes and stories like this I think are very good for people like me with minor cases to hear. I could have had it way worse, but instead I just raise or lower my eyebrows, move my head, make small noises, wink, or hold my eyes closed for a bit. It really helps me realize that I got lucky, and keeps me away from pitying myself and getting depressed.

The best way I can describe tics is like an itch that you have to scratch. If I feel like I need to tic it's almost like an itch that I need to scratch. It's uncomfortable until I do that thing and then like you said it relieves you. I as well have Tourettes and a small KZbin channel. And nobody really knows I have it except for a few close friends because I edit the tics out. I appreciate you talking about this.

It is neurological, not psychological. We collectively need to break the stigma of these things, and spread awareness. Thank you for your videos, Dapz. You are an angel without wings.

Man, I've struggled with debilitating anxiety and treatment-resistant depression for 30 years (I'm 35 now,) and have always been fascinated by neurology and mental illnesses because of my own struggles, and I consider myself to be reasonably well educated about such things, but until you talked about it, I had no idea that tics weren't always a completely involuntary thing. I guess that was just kind of an assumption I always had. The way you compared it to a sneeze or yawn was a really relatable way to describe it. I had no idea Tourettes tics could be even semi-voluntary (for lack of a better term,) in that way. I understand "voluntary" is not an accurate descriptor, but I didn't know that "involuntary" wasn't always a good descriptor either. I'm glad I found this channel. Truly interesting and enlightening content.

I find that as someone with severe OCD that it is similar to tics in the way that it is a feeling of wanting to make a different movement of your body and such. Like when I was younger I would scrunch my nose or whenever I accidentally scratched something I would want to wipe it, it feels like a relief doing it and it is hard to ignore.

Tourette’s kid here! I have a little story for y’all if you’re interested. (For the record, I wasn’t even diagnosed at the time. I’ve had it since like 4th grade but I only got diagnosed a month ago). I had a friend who used to say “I’ve never seen you have tic attacks before, you have Tourette’s?” and a lot of other people, such as my choir teacher, who say they have never seen my tics before. Which is funny, because I have it on a pretty moderate level. Not quite severe, but pretty up there. So I told my friend (I call them Harley and they call me Mr. J) that I had all the symptoms of Tourette’s and that I was pretty sure I had it. And they kinda acted weird about it like they didn’t believe me. So whenever after I would start ticcing, for some reason, Harley would say “Tourette’s?” to me, and I would be like “yeah what about it?” And they just stopped and were like, uuuh… I thought it was kind of funny to share. I, in fact, don’t tic when I’m very focused and forget I have them. When I remember them, they come back lol. Basically, don’t think that just because someone doesn’t tic all the time means that they don’t have Tourette’s syndrome.

[@blinddirge-san6497]

I've had quite severe ticks like 4 years ago, when I was 13 years old, couldn't stop hurting my chin when I got a bit emotional (not gonna mention the different involuntary movements and vocals), back then I thought it was normal because my family told me so, and now I've made a consultation with a neurologist, which didn't want to test me further because they were chill atm. That made me think it's really hard to get a diagnosis, even treated me like I was lying or something. Of course there's other disorders that could be related to ticks but uh, Idk much about it

As long as you have all the symptoms, you basically have it.

[@blinddirge-san6497]

@@U286BRAINZ In my case I had a 15 minute consult and just limited to answer the questions from the neurologist, I couldn't give any details like which kind of tics I had, he just went to ask "do you feel them from the inside or outside?" "how does it feel like?" and things as such, which couldn't let me explain myself further. Maybe it could be the medical system in here, I live in Argentina and there could be some changes regarding the diagnosis, or maybe even short on technology, which I doubt. About the symptoms, yeah, I've started having tics at the age of 7, they spiked in the 12s (and for some reason, a few obsessive-compulsive rituals), and decreased over the time, but still having rests of it, most of these are not noticeable thankfully.

I don't have tourette's but I've always had tics since i was a child. Funny enough my tics actually get way worse when i'm playing games that require a lot of focus or when i'm focusing on movies/series. Playing certain games becomes impossible after a while due to them haha. It's very fascinating how different bodies react differently to the same stimulations. And I feel you with people not noticing your tics. While for me they were always clearly noticeable people never figured out it was tics, even the doctors didn't know what was wrong with me when i ended up in the hospital because of them! Social media has blown tourette's so out of proportion. Of course there are severe cases of it where people almost constantly get tic attacks, and it's such a heartbreaking thing to witness especially when they're painful tics. It's not the case with everyone. So usually people don't believe it if they don't see you constantly having tics.

I have a boyfriend with touterres. (been together for 8 years soon) He has 3 ticks. 1. Him making Ststststtt-sounds for a few seconds. 2.

He shakes and cramps his hands/arms in very small motions and they get closer and closer to his face and sometimes it's followed up by a shaking of his head/neck ALWAYS to the right. (He's almost stabbed himself in the eyes multiple times and sometimes hurt his neck. It also costs a lot of energy for him). I have begun to do the same as his 2nd tick. I don't have tourettes....

I'm autistic (neurological condition) and I can relate with that - we both are neurodivergent. Our conditions are not "cool" or funny, people don't praise us in real life - it's hard to keep a job and to do everyday stuff that other people do, not because we are neurodivergent, but because society doesn't appear to include us - and actually it hurts phisically, like A LOT. We grow up with trauma from how people treat us, it's commom that we have depression and etc. So it's not a joke, it's our life. We don't need pity, just recognition. Thank you for making those videos, we should raise awareness.❤

i have asbergers and autism and adhd and some neurological issues and when i see ppl who fake having what i have, i know if they are real or not and i feel you on this one

[@SimonBorza-vu4ct]

this video deserves way more views tbh and keep up the good work hope tourettes doesnt more difficult for you as time goes on

[@Japuckle]

As someone with TS, i find that I have a lot of context spesific tics. I have a lot of "regular" ones, but also in a lot kf situations i get tics of doing something i knoe i shoulnt do, touching random stuff, etc. Just recently i started having a tic of scraping my nails against my pc monitor, and its pure torture.

[@scarofherobrine]

Literally comparing the feeling of sneezing to the feeling of needing to tic is sO accurate, wow… It’s like an itch that NEEDS to be scratched, and it gives a small burst of ‘feel good’ reward all over, like I can finally relax.

[@kurtsdemise]

I have diagnosed Tourette syndrome myself and people with this condition including myself tick a lot when looking at or thinking of a topic related to Tourette’s. I used to have it more severe but it’s still very bad physically, in my neck and blinking.

[@spicynoodles7969]

i had no idea that tourette’s was similar to OCD in the way that you get a feeling before you tic! i have OCD and the way you described it was exactly the way i feel before a physical compulsion.

[@teek1917]

I would say it varies. Sometimes I can tell a tic is going to happen mere seconds before it does. Other times it feels like being ambushed - just comes on without warning (or perhaps my attention was focused elsewhere, so I missed the signal that one was imminent.) There are times when I get that feeling that a tic is about to happen, but it doesn't - which just adds to the anxiety - because maybe it will arrive when I'm not expecting it, maybe it won't surface at all. In other words, "C'mon get it over with already!", but I can't really make it happen or not happen. In any case, I can't really control the Tourette's tics. I'd say my OCD tics feel different, because they have a goal - getting something just right in order to relieve some anxiety. I wouldn't say I get any relief from a Tourette's tic; if anything, they can make me more anxious if I'm around other people - especially strangers who don't know what's happening to me, so then I have to deal not only with my problem, but their reactions to it. It can become a sort of feedback loop.

[@skye6021]

I’m so sorry to ask this because I know you said that you won’t be making any more videos on Tourettes, and that is so respected- however- I have been experiencing tics for about 2 months now, and I have spoken to my GP about it many times and my therapist, they both said that it is trauma based tics. Apparently if I have them for longer than a year I will be diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome. When you explained that they felt like a sneeze I got so happy and really excited because that’s exactly how it feels for me- I only have 3 tics one is where my head will jolt (this happens a lot and it causes so much pain) but sometimes it’s really annoying when I get the sensation that I need to tic and I can’t/ won’t actually tic- it’s exactly like I need to sneeze but… don’t. If you see this please leave a reply because I honestly feel so alone and I’m actually quite scared because if they don’t go away (which I have been told they may never fully go away) I’m worried that they will get worse and it is causing bad pain in my neck- is there any form of medication that can ease the tics?

asocial is when you don't like social interaction, antisocial is a personality disorder this comment was brought to you by That Guy™ Edit: Dapz didn't make a mistake and actually meant antisocial, I've been corrected in true That Guy™ fashion.

I also have Tourette's (Coprolalia to be specific) and I thank you for making this video and educating people.

[@castillix7962]

I have tic disorder (not diagnosed touretts although I haven't gotten tested in years) The best comparison I could ever think of to describe how the tics feel is similar to yawning. You can suppress the yawn, but then you just feel the need to yawn more, and it is more of a neurological feeling than physical.

[@masternick4361]

the way you described your tourette's at 3:18 is exactly how i feel about my undiagnosed case. I bite my tongue a lot and its really painful at some times, and i also have other urges, mostly ones that cause harm to me and annoyance to others ive always thought i have either ocd or tourettes but im pretty sure its tourettes but i wont know for sure until i go to a medical professional which idk when i will, ive went to a psychologist but they didnt do diagnosis they just helped try relieve my tics and stuff ok

[@wesleyehowell]

I am in my 50s, and have had Tourette's since I was a child. My dad was in the military, and I was checked by many pediatricians to see why my head would shake and I couldn't stop it. Of course, back then, most people only seemed to think Tourette's was suddenly shouting an expletive for no apparent reason. Years later (approximately 30) it finally dawned on me what I had and I confirmed it with a doctor. My head shaking ticks had pretty well disappeared, but I still have others. At least, I THINK the head shaking ticks had disappeared. My wife has seen them, but not constantly, like they were when I was a kid. Your description of what it's like to tick is probably the best that I've ever heard. That momentary good feeling, then it's just annoying. LOL. that's it precisely.

[@Paul-Rowan]

Thank you dapz.

[@Noctosphere]

2:05 Another thing to mention, in most case of Tourette syndrome, most symptoms will lower in intensity during early adulthood (20's to 30's). When I was a teenager, I had a lot of tics (stretching my arms, making sounds with my throat, or just freezing my whole body), I am now in my early 30's and have almost no tics. Most of them will be discrete enough like how you showed us.

[@offbeat0]

As a person with Tourette’s , I can confirm everything that you said is pretty much a 100% accurate. I know Tourette’s are different with some people and with me I would say about 75 of my tics are context specific, but I’m pretty sure anyone that has Tourette’s will have some same tics with head/shoulder movement and eye movement. I’ve also realized when I got an eight hour plus sleep I still felt really tired and I don’t know if I physically have ticks while I’m sleeping but you might’ve answered my question why I’m so sleepy all the time lol, great video.

That picture of you in the thumbnail looks like you're trying to sell us a $35 book titled "452 steps on how to become a millionaire" with very generic financial 'advice', a story about how you earned $32 million dollars from your business at home, how failures build you up as a person, and finding coincidental parallels between billionaires like "both Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos eat 1.7 eggs per breakfast" to make it seem like eating 1.7 eggs is the key to becoming a multi billionaire. This book somehow sold over 1 million copies to a bunch of young to middle aged men who poured all their money from working a boring 9-5 into an NFT project, and theres a 5 star review on the cover from an anonymous person with a testimonial stating that this book singlehandedly made him a multimillionaire in 2 weeks.

[@dirteesocc6864]

I’m so glad you said something about having an “urge” to tic. Doctors suspect that I has Tourette’s but I wasn’t sure if that’s how they worked because I always have an urge to: -Crack my neck -squint/move my eyes rapidly -flip my hair up and down -make a forced sneezing noise -and occasionally this painful thing where I start shaking and freezing up while making the most demonic shrieking noises ever So yea I am glad you mentioned having some kind of need to do these things cuz that’s how I feel and it will help me when seeking professional help

I have Tourette but I doesn't affect me that much but normally I could get used to it. It's hard but it doesn't hit that hard. It normally happens when I'm stressed out mostly, but I mostly don't get used to it the only way I get it to stop is to not think about it at all
