Advice needed

[Brian_Fantana]

Hi, i'm a new member and I'm in need of some advice about tourettes tics. Are they involuntary or is it more of a "need"? I have these urges to jerk my head plus other things and I'm worried about what they are

Hi Brian, Tics are sometimes described like the feeling you might have if you have an itch. After you scratch it, there is relief. When you feel like you need to jerk your head, that sounds similar. It doesn't mean you would have a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome. But it does seem to be a tic. Does that make sense? Do you have other questions or things you want to share?
