Neurologist explains symptoms resemble tics
Dr. Mered Parnes, a neurologist from Texas, told Fox 26 that "the symptoms are the same as tics. Tics occur in a variety of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, but are mainly known as the leading symptom of Tourette's syndrome. There are four subspecies of tics. "

Simple motor tics include, for example, uncontrolled blinking of the eyes, jerking of the head, shrugging, and grimacing. Simple vocal tics with activities such as tongue clanking, smacking, grunting and sniffing. Complex motor tics such as obsessively touching other people or objects, body twists, self-injurious behavior, and performing obscene gestures.
