Past research shows stroke and other cerebrum wounds increment OCD hazard.
The examination creators needed to decide if the opposite additionally was valid.
They analyzed stroke hazard between around 28,000 grown-ups with OCD and another 28,000 without it during a 11-year time span. Contrasted with those without OCD, grown-ups with the problem had more than triple the danger of an ischemic stroke.
