A member asked:
Could you potentially have ocd before an eating disorder and so it leads to one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a way: Sometimes ocd symptoms spread to include eating. For example, choosing what to eat becomes so complex that the person ends up eating much less with the result that there is something that looks like an eating disorder. However, the two conditions are usually distinct.
