DEFINITIONS:


Intro to Anxiety (from the MayoClinic)

It's normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially if your life is stressful. However, 

excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with 

day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder.


Tourette syndrome is a neurobiological condition causing uncontrollable movements and 

sounds - called tics. Tics may be mild or severe, and often times decrease in severity after 

adolescence and into adulthood. Most people with Tourette syndrome have associated

conditions and complications such as ADHD, OCD, sleep issues, learning disabilities and

more. Some people do have tic disorders without having Tourette Syndrome. - Jamie Grace


Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) features a pattern of unreasonable thoughts and

fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These

obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress.

-Mayo Clinic


ADHD includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty sustaining 

attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior.

-Mayo Clinic
