How many years can have OCD before symptoms start to show?
Its hard to say exactly when one's OCD condition acutally begins. The reason being is that OCD can mimic several other condtions. One doesn't always recognize the onset condition as being OCD right away. Many times a person can exhibit habit forming traits that are usually confused with OCD behavior. While OCD behavior is almost always indicative of habitual behaviors, OCD is characterized by more than just habitual behaviors. I would definetely say that OCD is usually symptomatic and symptoms would usually start showing right away. However with that in mind a person could definetely have OCD before it is actually diagnosed, b/c of the fact that it mimics several other more common traits of an individual.

Even in 9th grade ive aced many of my exams without studying for even a minute.
