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.
Is it possible to have ADHD like behavior and not ADHD?
Of course! Misdiagnoses are common, especially in mental disorders. This is partly because the symptoms do not necessarily lead to the disease, but also because many different disorders can have similar symptoms. In particular, symptoms of OCD and ADHD can look very much alike but they are actually opposite malfunctions of the same part of the brain. In OCD this part of the brain is overactive and in ADHD it is underactive. Unfortunately, this has often led to diagnoses of "comorbid" ADHD and OCD, but researchers are discovering that the brain processes are actually opposite, which means it would be impossible to have both at the same time.
