Answer 5

In Psychology and Neurology, it's called "Psychogenic Tics" Tics are purposeless, stereotyped and repetitive involuntary movements occurring most commonly in the face and neck. Usually there is a single movement. They are much more common in childhood than in adult life, the peak age of onset being about seven years. They're also more common in boys than girls. Tics sometimes begin at a time of emotional upset and they are worsened by anxiety. Hope this helps. For more info, take a look at Oxford's Psychiatry Text Book. P.S. Yes, it's the same thing. It both happens in children and adults.
