Is there a close link between bipolar and OCD? I also participate on the anxiety forum and I wonder if I too have ocd. But I was told that the symptoms of OCD could be from the bipolar.

This article from 1995 suggests that the odds ratios of subjects with bipolar and unipolar disorders meeting the criteria for OCD relative to subjects with any other Axis I disorder are 3.2 and 1.6, respectively
and the lifetime rate of comorbidity for OCD is particularly high among bipolar subjects.

I have a feeling that co morbidity between schizophrenia and OCD is even greater.
