A member asked:

Is there a correlation between schizophrenia & ocd? possibly related to dopamine? i have ocd and schizophrenia. a lot of times i get attacks of both

Soothing : I don’t know if there’s a correlation, but may I ask, provided the diagnoses which are serious and have been confirmed, do you find that the rituals in OCD serve as a calming anchor of control for the terrifying symptoms of psychosis in schizophrenia, in which there is no control?

Dopamine: Dopamine is involved with many brain functions besides schizophrenia, and it involved with OCD. I do not know if there is a correlation that and the two disorders. Interesting thought!
