However, </p> <p>excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with </p> <p>day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Tourette syndrome is a neurobiological condition causing uncontrollable movements and </p> <p>sounds - called tics. Tics may be mild or severe, and often times decrease in severity after </p> <p>adolescence and into adulthood. Most people with Tourette syndrome have associated</p> <p>conditions and complications such as ADHD, OCD, sleep issues, learning disabilities and</p> <p>more. Some people do have tic disorders without having Tourette Syndrome. - Jamie Grace</p> <p><br></p> <p>Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) features a pattern of unreasonable thoughts and</p> <p>fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These</p> <p>obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress.</p> <p>-Mayo Clinic</p> <p><br></p> <p>ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining </p> <p>attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior.</p> <p>-Mayo Clinic</p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/s/15d4354/podcast/sponsor/acugkf/url/https%3A%2F%2Fanchor.fm%2Fapp">https://anchor.fm/app</a> Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/thejamiegracepodcast/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/thejamiegracepodcast/support</a>
