> I dont think OCD will -give- you PTSD. Both are outcomes from trauma. If you received trauma that was overwhelming enough to give you OCD I bet theres been PTSD stuff mixed in there all along.
>I guess I'll need to talk this out with a therapist. But yeah .. my question was essentially whether OCD itself could cause PTSD, or at least cause certain events it might sabotage to be interpreted as trauma, since I would get a lot of PTSD-like symptoms (hyperviligance, etc.) when OCD began to affect my professional life.
