Which of the following is wrong about the relationship between tics and OCD?
- OCD amplifies Tics
- Tics may not be secondary to OCD
- Tics are less complex than OCD
- They are closely related in treatment
Correct Answer

Explanation

The correct answer is that OCD amplifies tics. This means that individuals with OCD are more likely to have tics or experience an increase in the severity of their tics. This suggests that OCD and tics have a relationship where OCD can worsen or enhance tics. It does not mean that tics are the cause or primary symptom of OCD, but rather that OCD can exacerbate tics in individuals who already have them. Additionally, the answer implies that there is a connection between OCD and tics in terms of treatment, suggesting that similar interventions or therapies may be effective for both conditions.

OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) is a mental health condition characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Research suggests that imbalances in serotonin levels may contribute to the development and symptoms of OCD. Serotonin helps to transmit messages between nerve cells and regulate various bodily functions, including mood and emotions.
