How does OCD relate to depression?

OCD and depression often occur together. Constant anxiety, time-consuming rituals, and frustration with symptoms can lead to low mood and hopelessness. Depression can also make OCD harder to manage by reducing motivation for therapy. Treating both conditions is essential for overall wellbeing, often involving a combination of CBT, ERP, and sometimes medication.
