Why do I have the need to touch everything. I dont have rituals and do not count but feel the need to feel things. Can sombody tell me what I have?

It sounds like you might have a sensory processing sensitivity, which can lead to a heightened need to touch and feel things in your environment. This is not a diagnosis, but if this behavior is interfering with your daily life, it may be helpful to speak with a mental health professional for further evaluation and support.


What are the signs and side effects of Tourette's Syndrome?

The only real way to diagnose the condition is to talk to a specialist, but in general, tourettes is characterized by an involuntary tic, noise or speech pattern. The popular concept of Tourette's is involuntary verbal expression, in some cases as incoherent words or offensive ones. Most Tourette's cases do not include such unusual speech. (see the related links)


Are Tourettes disorder and tics the same thing?

A repetitive movement that is difficult, if not impossible, to control. Tics can affect any group of muscles. The most common are facial tics, such as eye- blinking, nose-twitching, or grimacing. Tics that affect the muscles used to produce speech are known as vocal tics, and can range from grunts or whistles to the repetition of complete words or phrases. Complex motor tics involve multiple, sequenced movements, and can include behaviors such as twirling in place, tapping a certain number of times, or stooping to touch the ground. You can have a tic without having Tourette's Syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a disorder that prominently features tics, often to the point of causing significant distress and problems functioning. It is more common in people with ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety but it can occur on its own.
