OCD

OCD is characterized by a pattern of unpleasant thoughts and anxieties (obsessions) that cause you to engage in repetitive actions (compulsions). These compulsive thoughts and behaviors disrupt daily life and cause severe distress.

SYMPTOMS 

• Fear of getting sick after handling stuff that other people have touched
• Questions about whether you properly locked the door or turned off the stove
• When things aren't in order or facing the right way, it causes a lot of stress.
• Imaginations of ramming your automobile into a crowd
• Unpleasant sexual imagery or ideas about acting badly in public or shouting obscenities
• Avoiding circumstances that can set off obsessions, like shaking hands
