How to tell if i have chronic motor tic disorder or tourettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tourette's by: Definition has to include a vocal and not just a motor tic. The vocal tic can be as minor as clearing your throat repetitively. So, if you have a vocal and a motor tic, you have may have tourette's (diagnosis ultimately must be confirmed by a qualified professional who witnesses it). If you do not have a vocal tic, then you do not have tourette's.
