Not quite sure? My neurologist says it is pretty common and before I go see him I have to (as well as other patients) fill out this form which contains a surprisingly large amount of questions about our mental health. I'd say they're *definitely* related but don't have a solid answer as to why. Sorry if that wasn't helpful

my stepdad served in the military and has OCD. i adapt his OCD. its the little things like i rearrange food and re-rearrange foods. and when i set up the dinner plates, i get the silverware on one side and in order, glasses in another side, and plates in the center. and i sit in one spot on the table or the couch. i didnt do that when dad was around.

I have epilepsy and major OCD

It's very helpful, thank you!
