I'm being treated for depression and have been subscribed prozac (which isn't working) but i wondered if it could possibly be confused with ocpd? a close friend came to me and said she thinks its that and showed me a page on it and it was scary how well my personality matched with it, and it said it can cause a "depressive episode" so maybe i do have depression, but caused by ocpd? i am an utter perfections who will not accept any help and will not stop until it is perfect. Everyone knows me as being like this and make a joke about it, but for me it seriously effects me, i can get so unbelievably upset or angry because of it. i have unbelievably his standards that i feel like nobody else can live up to. Anyway, i didn't no whether it IS possible to be diagnosed with depression when you have ocpd? is it worth mentioning to my pdoc/ psych nurse? also, is there a certain age where it would start to become apparent? Im only 16 is it even possible that i have it?
