I definately think the depression is linked to when the OCD is bad.</p> <p>Take Care<br /> Bridget </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/ocddepression-link#post-38122 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:24:59 +0000 Anonymous 38122@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Rena<br /> Yes, I've experienced this in the past - many times. Thankfully I am now fairly stable on a maintenance dose of 10mg Seroxat and I seem to keep free of the terrible lows - but when my OCD has been bad in the past I could plunge into suicidal depression very rapidly, within an hour, but conversely when the stress came off me - either an outburst of anger or resolution of a stressful situation the depression would lift just as rapidly. </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/ocddepression-link#post-38119 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:15:42 +0000 rena 38119@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>I have noted that in the past when my OCD symptoms were at their peak with anxiety, I would hit a low and become very depressed, anyone else have this experience? </p>
