Comorbidity of Anorexia Nervosa & Obsessive Compulsive DisorderSome studies have shown the co-occurrence of obsessive compulsive disorder in over two-thirds of patients with anorexia. In these cases, the obsessions tend to focus on food, exercise, and dieting. The compulsions (behaviors that the patient engaged in to relieve anxiety) often include weighing food, cutting it into small pieces, or excessively chewing food.
