Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder OCD and Dermatillomania, also known as skin picking disorder, are mental health conditions that can be deeply intertwined. OCD is characterized by intrusive, repetitive thoughts and behaviors, while dermatillomania involves the compulsive picking of skin, often leading to sores, scarring, or infections. The two disorders share a common thread of repetitive, controlling actions driven by overwhelming urges or anxiety. For those with both conditions, the compulsions can interfere with daily life, leading to emotional distress, social isolation, and physical consequences. Early intervention and therapy are crucial for managing these overlapping conditions effectively.
