Question 1

How to stop a mannerism?

Accepted Answer

To change a habit or mannerism that is not a tic (a medical issue), it takes 28 days of active practice to reduce the frequency, duration and intensity of the behavior.  Practicing the opposite, practicing privately, in front of a mirror, etc will help you be more aware of the mannerism and when it is likely to appear, then correcting or supplanting it with a more desired mannerism or response.

Question 2

How can i stop my mannerisms?

Accepted Answer

Mannerisms are common, and often the result of mental laziness.  Some people have catch phrases, habits, unconscious gestures, etc.  The first thing to do is to be aware that they are happening.  I have a colleague who constantly says "the thing is, it's like..." which he will say a dozen times in a case presentation.  He does not even notice it is happening.  That is the first step.

Question 3

My mannerisms are severe, i shout i shake and nod my head and flickering.. the more people are looking the more mannerisms i do..what can i do?

Accepted Answer

being away of your situation and seeking help.  The cause of your movements can be many things--side-effects of medication, anxiety, a neurological condition.  Please start w/speaking w/your doc and don't stop until you find an answer.  Use behavioral approaches, not just medication.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

How much it costs to see doctor for mannerism? i have no insurance

Accepted Answer

you would need to call and ask the physician's office, fees are not standardized.  There are many free clinics in most places.  Call the local Medical Society or Health Department.  Many physicians volunteer their time to man these clinics.

Assuming this is what you are describing, there are a number of treatments for eyelid twitching, of which the most popular is botulinum toxin (Botox), although there are oral medications as well.  Please see your doctor to evaluate your symptoms and discuss potential therapeutic options based on your history and physical examination.

Question 7

Hi! my son who is 3 years old has had a fever for the last couple of days, cough & cold but his mannerisms are normal... is it ok to let him swim?

Accepted Answer

As long as a child feels well enough, s/he may swim in a personal pool or in the ocean with a mild cold.  Swimming in a public or small pool with others may put them at increased risk for also getting sick (depending on the sanitation practices).

Question 8

In psychosis, what is the difference between tic and mannerism?

Accepted Answer

Neither is typical for psychosis though of course may incidentally co-occur. A tic is a short tightening and release of a small group of muscles. If you force yourself not to, tension will grow increasingly uncomfortable, squeezing one's eyes tightly shut, then opening is a common tic. Mannerisms are more complex gestures. They are just  habitual. Multiple persistent  tics comprise tourettesyndrom.

Question 9

I have a mannerism whenever im asleep my teeth are striking with each other?

Accepted Answer

Grinding or clenching your teeth during sleep can cause pain, headaches, worn and broken teeth.  It can interfere with you normal sleep cycles.  It is important to see  a dentist for an evaluation and a night guard. You can't stop doing this yourself so please call a dentist.

Question 10

I hav severe eye blinking. most of d time i stretch my neck like those who has torettsyndrom & also stretch my jaw. what should i do w/ my mannerisms?

Accepted Answer

What you are describing may be tics but you need to rule out latourette syndrome. I recommend that you see a neurologist or a psychiatrist for an evaluation and diagnosis. There are medications that can help. Some tics can be treated with behavioral therapy. But when there are multiple tics, then medication is usually needed.
