Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Monday, June 27, 2011

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted ideas (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors for example handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning in many cases are performed with the hope of stopping obsessive thoughts or creating them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," nevertheless, supplies only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly will increase anxiety.

Men and women with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have persistent, upsetting thoughts (obsessions) and use rituals (compulsions) to manage the anxiety these ideas produce. Nearly all of time, the rituals end up controlling them. (Read more on NIMH)
