Sudden Progression of Tics: Is it Normal?

idk if this helps but my tics tend to get worse when I’m more anxious. for me there’s a strong correlation between frequency of tics and my mental health

the exact thing happened to me, started in august of 2021 and they have not stop for me. i don’t have a diagnosis but i have gone to a neurologist confirming that i do have a sort of tic disorder!

So I suggest you see a doctor as soon as you can, because tics can sometimes be from illnesses like PANS/PANDAS and that should be taken care of right away if possible.

Yeah, I had tics for about 5 months before they got bad, but they weren't consistent. They'd happen maybe once a month if that.

Personally, I had small tics before November of 2021, which is when my tics got really bad. So mine did get more intense very quickly, but mine didn’t just start out of nowhere. Do you think you could possibly have had smaller, less noticeable tics before they got bad?
