TS++
Question:
I just finished watching an episode of Dr. Phil last week. He has guests on his show that had problems cutting and with hair pulling. I had both these problems when I was an adolestand around 13 – 14 years old. I cut just under the skin – not deep enough to injure myself but cutting to a point where it served an emotional need. I used to get compliments about my eyelashes. Nobody ever relized that I was pulling them out and the would grow back longer and curlier than before. Again, it was to satisfy a need. It was kind of a freak out when I saw these symptoms in a slide show in a presentation by Dr. David Commings and later saw these symptoms in his book. I have had different symptoms of TS throughout my life. I don’t consider it TS+ or TS++ or any other fancy name. I just have the symptoms of TS. When I was first Dx’ed, the neurologist said "what conditions do you need to medicate for?" The symptoms wax and wane. My latest problematic conditions are agoraphobia and disphoria.

I do see you "plastering propaganda" on usenet. Anti-med propaganda. I have also seen you plaster "ADHD is caused by caregiver abuse" propaganda. You identify various "communities." Please define "community." Also, do you speak for these "communities?" Since you are so knowledgeable about all this stuff, please tell us what you know about Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorder. It’ll put your "+" comments and beliefs about comorbidities to the test. For example, is Trichotillomania an Impulse Control Disorder, or does it fall under the umbrella of OCSD? Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder a stand-alone, or do some cases fall under the OCSD umbrella? How about Anorexia? What do YOU say, Linda? You are the expert, right? It’s one thing to engage in reasonable discourse, but when you state that the "TS community" has "nutjobs" among its ranks, you show your true colors. Pablo
