What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a disorder in which a person has unwanted intrusive and repetitive thoughts that become obsessions.

Because this learned ritual offers only temporary relief, the probability people will engage in compulsions again is increased and often becomes excessive.
