Twitch in legs, mouth, eyelid,hand, and head

My daughter's been experiencing these weird tics in various parts of her body lately.
I beleive it to be an emotional disorder or because she has poor eating and sleeping habits, it sometimes happens more frequently when nervous, depressed, scared, tired.
When she was younger around 8-10 (she's 15 now) she'd get really nervous about kids in school and start to blink constantly.I've heard about these facial tics in children, and they've said that it could be brought on by emotions. She has been really depressed lately. She has no muscle weakness or wasting and we've looked up everything we could find online and nothing seems to fit. Multiple sclerosis, Brain cancer/tumor, ALS.
None of it fits at all.

Look for information about the relationship between magnesium and tics, anxiety, and depression.

Hello Dear,
There seems to be some insecurity or fear which is causing the symptoms.Bad effects of frights,stressful events,fear,unforgettable unpleasant moments usually cause these images.You need to increase her self confidence and consult a psychiatrist ,to help you to find the cause. Avoid getting her  into stressful situations and keep  her calm,so that she does not get excited soon. She needs more care and attention.You should try to resolve all her complexes and be a friend more then a father.
