Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic disabling psychiatric illness with a lifetime prevalence of 1-3 percent. Comorbidity with Substance Use Disorder may complicate the clinical picture to lead to more severe OCD symptoms. In this report, we present a case of a young woman who started using alcohol as self-medication for her OCD and rapidly achieved Alcohol Dependence. She presented with alcohol withdrawal seizure which was erroneously diagnosed as Seizure disorder leading to challenges in overall management.
