I have a random question?!


Question: I have a random question?
So, my mom has tourettes and slight OCD. (Only my mom, not my dad.) What are the chances of me inheriting it? I'm a 15 year old female, by the way and I've never showed any signs of tourettes as a child or now. (That I'm aware of.)
Thanks! xx

Answers:

Hello. Having a parent with one of these conditions, does put you at a higher risk of developing it, but that doesn't mean that you will. My mom had OCD, and i have it also, but none of my other siblings do. Nobody can tell you for sure that will get either of these conditions, so there's no point in worrying yourself sick about it. The fact that you show no symptoms at age 15, is a good sign. I developed OCD as a child, and it got worse as i got older. Just enjoy your teenage years, and have fun :-) Take care.
