Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is characterized by persistent and intrusive thoughts, urges or images (obsessions) that cause anxiety or distress, as well as repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels compelled to perform (compulsions) to neutralize or alleviate the anxiety caused by the obsessions. These compulsions can be rigidly repeated routines or actions, such as washing hands a certain number of times or checking locks repeatedly. A person with OCD may recognize the obsessions and compulsions as irrational, but finds it difficult to resist or control them.
