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
