Research Notes on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and ADHD
Obsessive compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by thoughts (obsession) and actions (complusion). This disorder can also be associated or co-exist with other mental disorder such as Tourette's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is important to tell the doctor all the symptoms because having one or more of these mental conditions can make diagnosis and treatment more difficult.
