A member asked:
What to do if i have ocd symptoms, but i still smoke & drink alcoholic drinks is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Both can increase anxiety and ocd symptoms because they cause and effect our overall health and ability to deal with stress. Excessive use would be particularly harmful as it dysregulates us. Often substance use starts out as an attempt to regulate emotions but it backfires.
