A member asked:
I have anxiety and ocd. recently been experienced a large increase in libido.. can anxiety do this? or maybe my ocd is just making me over-think it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: The underlying problem in ocd is anxiety. People with ocd have a tendency to be obsessed over specific things such as germs, specific bodily concerns over their bowel habits, cleanliness ( constant washing of hands) , sex, gambling , correctness of procedure. With the obsession is a compulsion to do certain acts to achieve the desired outcome of their obsession , to avoid anxiety.
