Talk:Tic

message: Why is klazomania described in this, and in its own article as "compulsive shouting," and also as a tic? It can't be both "compulsive" and a tic! I know that's it's etymology, but nowadays we make a very clear and principled distinction.205.212.73.217 12:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This section consists of only one sentence, although the sentence does contain a wikilink. Should it perhaps be changed to "See Media portrayal of tics?" As it stands now it's totally inadequate. DQweny (talk) 07:48, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

message: What are the cause of tics? I have tics myself. My diagnosis is Asperger syndrome with tics. I have the impression that anxiety, stress, nevrosis, but also positive excitment might cause an increased amount of tic. Tics are often related to a feeling of physical and psycholocial discomfort in my case. For instance tight cloths might lead to mee making tics. Any comments on that? --Oddeivind (talk) 13:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casuses of tics 

message: I don't think all tics with OCD are compulsions. I get tics, twitches, spasms, etc. which my doctor says is due to my OCD. I can't control any of them, by which I mean I don't have a conscious decision to do so, like when I watch my hands. It's like a sneeze or a gag reflex. Totally uncontrollable and involuntary. 98.217.230.157 (talk) 01:13, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm not an expert, but I thought that the all too common "tic" of leg bouncing might be related to this article, but there is no mention of it. The Internet seems to indicate that it is a separate issue. Could someone who knows edit the article and say either that leg bouncing is or isn't a tic, and if it isn't refer to an article that does talk about it?

replies: text: Best I can tell, that is terminology furthered by Google in its current use; they seem to be using it to refer sometimes to tic disorders and sometimes to Tourette syndrome.  This is not how the medical literature uses terminology. Historically (that is, in very old articles) it was used to refer to tic disorders and other hypothetical conditions, and there are some current case reports hypothesizing a tic syndrome related to headaches (see ).  As those are only sporadic case reports, the hypothetical condition would not meet the threshold for a Wikipedia article.   Modern medical literature refers to tic disorders if they fall short of meeting criteria for Tourette syndrome.  Both require tics; see tic disorder. It also makes good sense is some physicians prefer the term tic syndrome to tic disorder (see example at Boston Children's Hospital), as it is less stigmatizing, and there is no rquirement in the DSM that people with tics having impairment in functioning (eg, may not be or feel "disordered".  But this usage of the words tic syndrome is so uncommon that including it in Wikipedia articles would not be warranted, and could just be confusing:  tic disorder is the common term.
