The idea of OCD and ADHD is discussed in this video
http://totallyadd.com/impulsivity-vs-compulsivity as individuals with core impulsiveness sometimes develop compensatory obsessional thinking as a way of warding off their impulsivity. In essence, going the opposite direction. Sometimes, two things happen independently, for example like Tourette’s.
If the OCD is a reflection of the core impulsivity, then treat the impulsivity and some of the OCD settles. If they are occurring together, then you may need treatment for both of the core symptoms at the same time.
The treatment can be a combo of meds, behavioral and psychological interventions.
