A member asked:
Can ocd cause major depressive illness or vice versa, please can you advice on this thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be related: Ocd and depression are different illnesses, but it's not uncommon for someone to have both. I have seen many people with long-term ocd, who also have intermittent depressive episodes. Fortunately, both these conditions are treatable -- and you can talk with your doctor about this. Good luck to you.
