Lyme Disease and OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Message Board

Interestingly enough, 2 people in an o.c.d. support group I was in, both had lyme disease. And, I guess, lyme disease affects many people neurologically. They both told me they feel the lyme disease has something (if not all) to do with getting their o.c.d.

Any comments? Similar stories?

Very interesting. When I took my daughter to the Yale Child Study Center the psychologist said that this Lyme-connection has been found for one family. We went to the Study Center last summer.

I have lyme and ocd, there has been a corralation found but I don't think that's my case I believe I had it before I got sick, but who knows, I'm not sure when I got infected anyway (oh and don't go to the people at yale for lyme.......)
