Hey guys, kinda new here.. I have a problem that started recently, and i’ll try my best to describe it to you, since i’m not sure if this is OCD or not..

About a month ago i read an article on tourette’s syndrome, and it didnt really interest me that much (i like neurology very much, and also psychiatry). But, not so long after that, i started developing tics. I took a trip to my psychiatrist, and he diagnosed me with OCD and prescribed me zoloft.

Now, i’m not sure whats going on, or if that ts article caused the tics to appear, but i cant stop doing them. It’s like an obsession now, i just have to do it. I’m starting to notice how many intrusive thoughts i get daily, and am wondering if these are the effects of zoloft (i’m taking 100mg daily, been doing it for a week now). The intrusive thoughts i get are about rape, and they disgust me.. Sometimes my brain associates them with everything, so they never disappear completely.. And i always feel like i am the one thats actually causing them to happen by thinking about them(not sure if i am)...

I really am not sure what to do, and would like your input on this, i would really appreciate it &lt;3 . Best wishes to everyone out there that’s struggling


TL;DR: Read an article about tourettes and started having tics, got diagnosed with OCD, and not sure if all this is fake or not..
