What Is OCD?
The current page explains that OCD involves recurring obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are intrusive thoughts or fears, while compulsions are repetitive behaviors performed to reduce the anxiety those thoughts create.
Even when someone recognizes the behavior does not fully make sense, OCD can still feel difficult to control without the right treatment and support.
