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.

OCD is often a chronic, relapsing illness best treated by behavior therapy and medication.
