I want to know the diffference between ocd racing thoughts and bipolar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Racing thoughts: Of bipolar do not always connect and are linear going out. Ocd is characterized by circular thinking, meaning you think about the same thing over and over again, regardless of the speed of the thoughts.
