A member asked:
Can anyone help me figure out if this is addiction or an ocd thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coexisting: Ocd and addiction are frequently coexisting and overlap so it can be hard to tell which is primary. Ocd and other anxiety can lead to addiction but the reverse is also possible. Seek a good assessment.
