Hi, new in this comunnity, and I just wanna know if any of you know if I can have tics without having Tourette's, I've had tics (physically and verbal tics) during my whole life, not too much of them at the same period of time but I've had different types, for example now I "can't stop" nodding with my head really hard I even get headaches sometimes because of that.
I have ocd and anxiety and I don't know if I can have also Tourette's or is just "simple" tics which other people can have

Hi . My doctor 👩🏽⚕️ told us even when you have physical and verbal tics but not at the same time and for more then 1 year . Eventually you will get the TS diagnosis.
If you go on to the tourettes action website there are a list of specialist consultants who treat and diagnose adults with tourettes. It's different for my son as he is only a child
