What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic condition characterized by uncontrollable and recurring thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Individuals with OCD often feel compelled to repeat these behaviors to alleviate the anxiety caused by their obsessions.
Understanding OCD
- Obsessions: These are persistent thoughts, urges, or mental images that provoke significant anxiety.
- Compulsions: These are repetitive behaviors that individuals feel driven to perform in response to obsessive thoughts.
Recognizing Symptoms of OCD
Symptoms associated with OCD may include:
- Fear of germs and contamination
- Anxiety over dirt and cleanliness
- Aggressive thoughts toward oneself or others
- Excessive cleaning or handwashing
- Ordering or arranging items in a specific, precise manner
- Repeatedly checking things, such as ensuring doors are locked or that appliances are turned off
