What's important: What's important is for you to see a Behavioral Therapist to find out why and how to stop so you can change your life for the better. YOU must take the first step. Internet research or answers will not help you.

Tic: First have your mouth checked by your Dentist. If healthy, your tic or compulsive behavior should be addressed by a mental health professional.
