first if you have racing thoughts or obsessional thoughts most doctors will call you bipolar which also mimics ptsd and not considered ocd, if there is no compulsion...so then you get prescribed meds like Zyprexa or Seroquel which don't really help and make you fat..... so unless you have ocd you really can't /don't know what ocd is like.
