Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or OCD is characterised by uncontrollable obsessions and compulsions.Obsessions–persistently intrusive and unwelcome thoughts, emotions, or images as well as repetitive compulsions, ritualised activities that patients often feel obligated to repeat in an attempt to address or alleviate obsessional distress–have been observed in OCD patients.
Symptoms of OCD
There are three key components to OCD.
1. Obsessions – When an unwanted, intrusive, and often distressing thought, image, or urge repeatedly enters your mind.
2. Emotions – The obsession causes intense anxiety or distress
3. Compulsions – Repetitive behaviours or mental acts that a person with OCD feels compelled to perform as a result of the obsession's anxiety and distress
