A member asked:
Can racing thoughts of severe ocd often be mistaken for bipolar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not.: OCD thoughts tend to repeat, recur, but not actually race. If there is racing, then it is likely that bipolar disorder is a factor. This is complicated, but not a complete surprise: the two disorders can be present, and this is not uncommon.
