An OCD can be incredibly debilitating, a person with obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD suffers with intrusive thoughts that make them feel compelled to do certain things, follow certain rituals with repetitive behaviours.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is thought to affect 2-3% of the UK population. People with OCD often realize their thoughts and the actions they follow through are irrational, which in turn creates further distress. The culmination of these thoughts (obsessive) and behaviours (compulsions) can make the person feel like they have a case of the mental hiccups that won’t go away.
Obsessions are thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and over again and feel out of the person control. The person does not want to have these ideas. People with OCD worry excessively about dirt and germs and become obsessed with the idea that they are contaminated or contaminate others. Things have to be done in a way that is "just so."
Compulsions People with OCD try to make their obsessions go away by performing compulsions. Compulsions are acts the person performs over and over again, often according to certain "rules". People with an obsession about contamination may wash constantly or spend hours in the shower and bathroom. A person may repeatedly check that they have locked the front door or closed the windows. They may have to count certain objects over and over perhaps until its done to a specific number of times or feels like its okay to move on now.
