What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by obsessive thoughts and/or compulsive behaviors that significantly interfere with normal life.
Obsessions are unwanted, recurrent, and disturbing thoughts that a person cannot suppress and that can cause overwhelming anxiety. These are severe worries and doubts that won't go away.
Compulsions are repetitive, ritualized behaviors that the person feels driven to perform to alleviate the anxiety of the obsessions. The obsessive and compulsive rituals can occupy many hours of each day and seriously impair day-to-day living. Compulsions take away the worries, but only temporarily.
