Distinguishing between certain complex motor tics and certain compulsions (e.g., repetitive touching) can be a problem. By convention, tics are distinguished from "tic-like" compulsions (e.g., compulsive touching or blinking) based on whether the patient attaches a purpose or meaning to the behavior. For example, if a patient feels an urge to repeatedly touch an object, this would be classified as a compulsion only if it was preceded by a need to neutralize an unwanted thought or image; otherwise it would be labeled a complex motor tic. Tics are often identified by "the company that they keep": if a complex motor act is accompanied by clear-cut tics (e.g., head jerks), it is most likely a tic itself.

What are negative stereotypes for OCD?

I think that nearly all stereotypes of OCD can be negative depending on the person. Somethings can really hurt people's feelings and make them feel conscious . Some asume that people with OCD are clean freaks, perfectionists and like to count everything and do things a certain number of times. These stereotypes are not applicable to every single person with OCD. When people are victims to this type of stereotyping they can lose a lot of self confidence and the disorder can be made worse by the person trying to correct it. Hope this helps!! XX


How do you have a good day?

The phrase "Have a good day" is now commonly used by staff at the cash-out registers in lieu of saying "Thanks for shopping with us/at Coles Supermarket" or wherever. It is a meaningless statement which you have no control over: it's a bit like saying "Don't get run over by a bus".


How often do teens buy when they shop?

i am a pre teen but i guess that count but when ever i go to the mall which is once a week i spend about $350.00Omg i am 15 and i dont use all that money once a week, but i think that you should save your money and use about 50-100$ at the mall for things you need like you need a new pair of jeans because your other ones are ripping. Get a couple of shirts and look for sales that is always fun.
