💬 “Mark Grossman Breaks His Silence: The Truth Behind His Private Health Battle”

The Young and the Restless star opens up like never before in a candid podcast interview.

In an emotional and refreshingly honest moment, The Young and the Restless star Mark Grossman—best known for his intense and captivating portrayal of Adam Newman—has opened up for the first time about a deeply personal health condition he’s been living with for years: motor tics.

During a recent podcast appearance with General Hospital actor Maurice Benard, Grossman gave fans a rare, vulnerable look behind the scenes of his life—one that goes far beyond the bright lights and scripted drama of daytime television.

“It’s Like an Itch I Have to Scratch”

Grossman revealed that his tics began during his high school years, around the same time he was riding dirt bikes and, as he humorously put it, “breaking all my bones.” The symptoms manifested as eye twitches, neck tension, and other subtle body movements—many of which fans may have noticed during interviews or in-between intense scenes on set.

“It’s like a tension in my body… when I’m in a really intense storyline, it hits my neck,” he explained.

Despite the physical sensations, Mark shared that his condition has never negatively impacted his quality of life.

Why He Chose to Avoid Medication

While doctors did offer treatment options—medications like Xanax and Klonopin—Grossman said he tried them briefly but quickly stopped.

“I felt like a zombie,” he recalled. “And I just didn’t want to be on something that I didn’t absolutely need.”

For Grossman, managing his condition without medication was a personal decision, and one that reflects his grounded, no-nonsense approach to life.

A Rare Glimpse Behind the Actor

The interview marked a major turning point for Grossman—not just as a public figure, but as a human being opening up about something many would choose to hide. His willingness to be so transparent earned widespread respect from fans and viewers alike.

“You won’t find a more honest moment than this,” one fan commented after watching the interview.

Why This Matters

In a world where celebrity culture often hides imperfections, Grossman’s story is a reminder that strength doesn’t always come from hiding our struggles—but sometimes from sharing them.

His openness about living with tics—and his decision to embrace life without medication—sheds light on a condition often misunderstood, while also offering hope to others who may be quietly navigating similar challenges.

If you haven’t watched the interview yet, it’s a must-see. And if you’re a fan of The Young and the Restless, this honest, heartfelt side of Mark Grossman will only deepen your admiration for the man behind Adam Newman.
