Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)Most people have obsessive thoughts and/or compulsive behaviors at some point in their lives, but that does not mean that we all have “some OCD.” Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) features a pattern of irrational thoughts and panic (obsessions) that lead you to do repeated behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause serious anguish. If you have OCD, you probably notice that your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are irrational but you feel unable to curb them and break free.
