Tourettes labels movement and vocal tics seen for a a period of a YEAR. Otherwise the person gets other diagnoses such as transient tic disorder, motor tic disorder, etc.

Although OCD and other brain issues are more commonly comorbidly seen with TS, they are not part of the diagnostic criteria, and those other symptoms get diagnoses of their own.
