In this article, it is aimed to present a 39-year-old woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder with excessive water drinking due
to compulsions. This clinical condition; called as “compulsive water drinking”, “psychogenic polydipsia” and “water intoxication”.
Psychogenic polydipsia which is characterized by excessive sensation of thirst and compulsive water drinking has been reported
