A member asked:
Can you just develop a tic?i've had different urges since i can remember but recently it has got worse and i am saying a name atleast 100 times a day
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tics occur at any age. They are jerk like movements, vocal sounds, repeating/saying words without control. There is an urge sensation with difficulty of suppression. When suppressed, they return with increased frequency. Are exacerbated by stress, fatigue, excitement; often run in families; are commonly seen with OCD-type behaviors. There is medication for when tics interfere in life's activities.
