A member asked:
I have ocd and sometimes i get repetitive music stuck in my head. sometimes it will repeat so much that i can faintly hear it. is this normal? i'm scared i'm developing schizophrenia or something.

Common, not causal: Some symptoms are similar and the disorders can overlap but OCD does not lead to or become Sz. Of course you'd be scared - but that will not help, in fact it will hurt. Talk as openly as you can w/ your therapist about this. After an eval, I hope you can stop worrying. It's possible to learn how to get music out of your mind w/ meditation, but if it's nice - enjoy it. Learn some skills in Tx.
