Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition where unwanted thoughts (obsessions) lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
Causes:
Imbalance in brain chemicals (like serotonin)
Family history of OCD
Stressful life events
Personality traits (like perfectionism)
Common Symptoms:
Fear of germs or contamination
Unwanted aggressive or taboo thoughts
Repeated checking (doors, locks)
Excessive cleaning or hand washing
Arranging things in a “perfect” order
If these habits interfere with daily life, it might be OCD — and help is available.
Break the cycle. Speak up. Seek support.
