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
