What
is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
OCD is a potentially disabling condition in which an
individual experiences unwanted and disturbing thoughts,
impulses, or images (obsessions) and/or engages in repetitive
mental or behavioral acts (compulsions). Because people
with this condition typically experience severe anxiety,
OCD is considered an anxiety disorder. In order to understand
OCD it is first necessary to know something about the
nature of obsessions and compulsions.
