Hi there! I understand the complexity of managing both bipolar disorder and OCD. It's important to work closely with a mental health professional who can help tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are often helpful for OCD symptoms. #bipolardisorder #ocd #mentalhealthtips
