I have OCD with tics also (among other things).
The OCD is thought to result from a serotonin imbalance while the tics and/or tourette's (if vocalizations were ever present) are thought to be dopamine related. Very odd that the two are often co-morbid, ocd and tics/tourette's, yet two different systems are involved, dopamine and serotonin.
