Does bipolar disorder cause facial tics?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Facial tics are not included in the diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder. Facial tics can be caused by a few different things including medication side-effects. I have had patients who had both bipolar disorder and tourette syndrome. Each is a different condition.
