Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
A Guide to OCD and Its Common Themes
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by obsessions (recurrent, unwanted, and intrusive thoughts, urges, or images that cause distress) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce that distress). OCD Themes can manifest in a near infinite number of ways. This creates a self-perpetuating “vicious cycle” where the temporary relief from the compulsion reinforces the obsession, trapping the individual.
