Learn About OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder causes repetitive thoughts or obsessions, resulting in anxiety, distress, and urges to engage in compulsive behaviors. Most OCD symptoms involve preoccupations with contamination, checking, symmetry, or hoarding, but they can also focus on harm, sex, and morality.

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that involves intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and compulsive rituals or behaviors. In someone with mild OCD, these symptoms may be less frequent, less intense, and less disruptive to their daily life. OCD is a highly misunderstood disorder, and certain personality traits or tendencies are often mistaken as a mild form of OCD.
