Are tourette's syndrome and ocd related in anyway?

Yes: Commonly, ocd, tourette's, and adhd may be seen in the same patient, to varying degrees.

Yes: Studies have demonstrated that 50% of those with tourette syndrome also have OCD and 10% of those with OCD also have tourette syndrome. Tourette syndrome has to do with recurrent sounds and movements (vocal and motor tics) and OCD has to do with recurrent thoughts and behaviors (obsessions and compulsions). This is considered a "spectrum disorder" often with family members variously affected.
