Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

According to the National Library of Medicine, obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions).

Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety.

Symptoms of OCD may include:

  • Obsessions or compulsions that are not due to medical illness or drug use

  • Obsessions or compulsions that cause major distress or interfere with everyday life

There are many types of obsessions and compulsions. Examples include:

  • Checking and rechecking actions (such as turning out the lights and locking the door)

  • Excessive counting

  • Excessive fear of germs

  • The compulsion to repeatedly wash the hands to ward off infection

The person usually recognizes that the behavior is excessive or unreasonable.
