Is ocd something that can be acquired by spending time with someone who has ocd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usualy: We really don't think of OCD as contagious in any sense. However because it can be very intense and powerful to be around someone with OCD it can seem very compelling. Sometimes people over accommodate to be supportive or agreeable.
