If you think you have no OC symptom and still being diagnosed with OC features then you need to consult another psychiatrist in person, preferably at a teaching hospital or medical College.

Depression and OCD are different disorders. Need to have clarity about OC features being told.

Hi

OC features means there are some OCD like symptoms but it is not full OCD. OC symptoms can be found in patients with depression. With treatment depression and OC features, both will resolve. Do not worry.
