What Could It Be If Having Involuntary Movements, Involuntary Vocalizations And Sleep Paralysis?

Hi, I'm a 19 year old female and have had involuntary movements for about three and a half years. Initially, these were very difficult to deal with and interfered in my daily life. However, they diminished over time but are still present. Although the movements decreased, I developed involuntary vocalizations about two years ago. Both are still present and noticeable but I handle them. I am worried now because I've noticed that my right arm doesn't swing when I walk, I have had changes in mood, I recently had a case of sleep paralysis, and my hands sometime shake when I'm not doing anything. The doctors I've been to have said that I don't have Tourette's and my original diagnosis of JME has been ruled out. What do you think might be the problem?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is the clear cut indication of functional disorders, for that you have to control your thoughts, keep your anxiety level at the lower side, better do some exercise (Aerobic), if this fails to respond then you have to see the psychiatrist, hope this information helps you, take care and have good day.
