Mark Grossman Health Update: Shares Diagnosis For the First Time!
In an exclusive interview with Maurice Benard, Mark Grossman, better known for his role as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless, bravely opens up about his long-standing battle with tics, revealing for the first time how this condition has impacted his life. Fans of the actor may have noticed subtle eye twitches or body movements during interviews and on set, but it wasn’t until recently that Grossman shared that these movements are a result of a condition he’s lived with since his teenage years.
The actor explained that his tics started in high school, particularly after a dirt biking accident. While Grossman admits that these involuntary movements, such as eye twitching and tension in his body, are more noticeable during intense scenes, they’ve never truly interfered with his day-to-day life. In fact, he says, “It’s like an itch I have to scratch, but it’s pretty subtle.” Despite seeking medical advice in the past, Grossman revealed that he chose not to take medication after trying prescriptions like Xanax and Klonopin, which left him feeling like a “zombie.”
Grossman’s decision to forgo medication, despite his doctor’s advice, speaks to his philosophy of wanting to avoid unnecessary medications unless absolutely necessary. His candidness about living with tics gives fans a rare glimpse of him not just as a soap star, but as a relatable, down-to-earth individual.
For fans of Y&R, this is an eye-opening moment, showing a side of Mark Grossman that many didn’t know. His honesty and vulnerability in the interview are truly refreshing, making it clear that he values his privacy and health above all.
