Hello Nishan: Hm-m-m-m... I don't know the answer to your question. I have struggled with depression my entire life. And the first doctor I saw, regarding some trouble I was having as a result of self-abusive behaviors I'd engaged in, suggested I might have OCD. And I know, myself, that I do have some OCD-like behaviors. So all I guess I can say is that, at least in my case, depression & OCD-like behaviors certainly do seem to go together.
