Some people say yes, some say no. I think there's a link. I deal with symptoms of all 3 conditions. They have been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I blame trauma.

My doctor said almost 60% of people suffer from depression as well. It sucks not knowing what caused what

Maybe it doesn't matter. The point is trying to get better or get healed on a fundamental level, working through all the stuff that makes up the majority of the problem (important to note that this should be on your own terms at your own pace.) No one is the same. Comparing ourselves to others can be damaging, especially for someone with OCD, so I try not to compare myself, but that in and of itself is like its own compulsion. I don't think much is truly known as facts where mental health is concerned. Every new piece of information though goes a long way toward making treatment and recovery a possibility for others, so thanks for sharing

Wow! I compare myself to others all the time. That’s an obsession or compulsion? It causes me stress

Idk what you want to call it. I have my potential OCD-like symptoms written down as either an action or a trigger, the action being whatever I do to calm myself. I'm going to take it to my clinician because I'm not sure what I deal with, but I think it will be important for me to have a full scope of my symptoms and my lifestyle so I can get the best treatment possible. I'm looking into ketamine infusion but it's as pricey as you'd think. Therapy is a good option for some people also.

ADHD/ADD and OCD treatment?
Hi! I just discovered a couple of months ago that I have ADHD. I already had the diagnose for ocd and now I also have this diagnose, and I was really wondering how can you treat both? Because I think they fuel each other a lot, especially because I have Pure OCD so it’s mainly mental anxiety and compulsions. How do you treat both, does somebody have experience with this? Is there a good therapy for both of these? Thanks :)

OCD/Trauma/Depression
Hi everyone. I haven't posted on here in quite in some time. I'm hesitant to post but I'm battling some things that are compounding onto each other. I've had ocd since 15 I'm 30 now..I feel it's still there but much better than years ago. Currently though I'm really struggling with depression and trauma too. Atleast I believe it's trauma and my psychiatrist saw some indicators. Long story short I was in a relationship with a narcissist and I'm still recovering. I feel my nervous system is still kinda on fight or flight. I've learned that our bodies very much stores trauma. Alongside this I'm pretty critical of my appearance and my self esteem is not so great. I've been putting myself out there more and socializing but I can't shake this feeling of being stuck in an endless loop. It's hard to tell what to tackle. It's difficult for me..I don't know if ocd treatment is for me or more so trauma based therapy. I think there is some overlap..any advice or feedback would be appreciated. A side note I've done ERP in the past and I've been to treatment centers such as mclean. I feel like I need a community because I feel pretty alone but I'm having trouble putting one foot in front of the other.

Relapse with OCD and depression
Just wanted to jump on here and express how I have felt lately. The past 5 to 6 months have been pretty excruciating. I conquered OCD 5 years ago and for some reason, it has slipped back and took over my life again. More so the depression that came along with it. Is there anyone else out there that has returned to rock bottom where they once fully climbed themselves out of?
