Guest guest Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 As I posted before my daughter had a sudden onset of OCD symptoms. As I have been researching OCD I was directed to the website pandaresourcenetwork.org on this website I found some interesting information that stated " other autoimmune illness may cause sudden onset ocd and other neuropsychiatric disorders....lyme disease, thyroid disease... " My daughter (this year) was dx'd with and autoimmune disease called Hoshimotos Thyroiditis. This is a thyroid disease. Her body produces antibodies that attack her thyroid, causing her thyroid to be either under or overactive. I am wondering if there is a dr associated with this group that might be able to answer if this thyroid disease and the antibodies that are attacking my daughters thyroid could any way be the cause of the ocd.
