OCD is characterized by the presence of obsessions (intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges) and/or compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts) that are aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing feared outcomes. People with OCD often develop specific compulsions as a way of coping with their obsessions. For example, someone with contamination obsessions might develop a compulsion to wash their hands repeatedly, while someone with intrusive thoughts about harming others might develop a compulsion to check and recheck their environment for potential dangers.
