Swearing during seizures?

I’m relatively newly diagnosed with non-epileptic seizures, probably psychogenic in nature as I have C-PTSD, but I’m wondering if some of these “seizures” are actually tics? Never had tics before and these episodes started in my mid teens I believe. My “seizures” have started showing up as quick bursts of rapid repetitive movement, mostly in my head and neck along with vocalizations/saying certain words in a spastic way like “HEY” or “B*TCH”. Weirdly enough they mostly happen at night and rarely around other people. Could functional tics be a possibility for me?
