Absolutely!
My sister suffers from severe OCD which is exasberated by stress. She has been on medication for years.
Knowing the signs of OCD, my sister and I have also noticed how much my mother has difficulty dealing with any stress at all, and how her "routines" become more exaggerated when she is up against anything stressful. She was also known to use various tranquilizers for extended periods of time, when she was younger.
We all seem to react the same ways (in varying degrees) when responding to stress.
