OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) suffer from repetitive
and unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or perform compulsive rituals
which seem to be beyond control. Hand washing, counting, checking,
or cleaning is done to prevent or cope with obsessive thoughts. Left
untreated, obsessions and rituals rarely disappear and often may severely
debilitate a sufferer’s life. OCD is often a chronic, relapsing
illness best treated by behavior therapy and medication.
