Track: Obsessive Compulsive disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which a person frequently has certain thoughts (called "obsessions") or feels the need to repeatedly perform certain routines (called "compulsions") to a degree that induces anxiety or impairs general functioning.
For more than a short period of time, the person is
unable to regulate either ideas or activities. Popular compulsions include hand washing, stuff counting, and verifying
if a door is locked. These practices take place to such an extent that the
everyday life of the person is adversely affected, sometimes taking up more
than an hour a day.
