- Obsessive-compulsive disorder is simply excessive obsessions that lead to repetitive behaviors or compulsions. It is a disorder in which people tend to have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations that make them feel driven to do something repetitively.
- The repetitive behaviors, such as cleaning continuously, checking on things, can significantly interfere with a person’s day to day activities and social interactions.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears that lead to compulsive behaviors.
- For people with OCD, thoughts are persistent, and behaviors are unvarying. Not performing the behaviors commonly causes great discomfort.
