“Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and the Risk of Dementia”

 “Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and the Risk of Dementia,” by Eugene Rubin, Psychology Today

  

Quote:

“Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic and disabling illness. As persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder age, they may be at increased risk to develop dementias. Dementias may develop several years earlier in persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder when compared to persons without this disorder.”

 

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

If you were staring dementia in the face, you’d become obsessive-compulsive too.
