Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) features a pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress.
Common types of compulsive behaviour in people with OCD include:
cleaning and hand washing.
checking – such as checking doors are locked or that the gas is off.
counting.
ordering and arranging.
hoarding.
asking for reassurance.
repeating words in their head.
thinking "neutralising" thoughts to counter the obsessive thoughts.
Treatment includes talk therapy, medication or both.
