Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by obsessions, which are persistent and unwanted thoughts causing anxiety, and compulsions, repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety. Compulsions can range from checking rituals to mental activities like counting or praying. OCD presents as interrupting the quality of life, but not everyone with related behaviors is diagnosed with OCD. Genetic factors play a significant role in OCD development, but it can also arise as a response to trauma or as a coping mechanism.
