Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that causes unwanted thoughts and repeated behaviors. These thoughts are called obsessions. The actions are called compulsions. Many people with OCD feel stuck in a cycle of fear, worry, and stress.
OCD is a type of anxiety disorder. It can affect teens, adults, and even children. A person may know their thoughts do not make sense, but they still feel strong anxiety. This leads to repeated behaviors to feel better.
For example, someone may wash their hands over and over. Another person may check doors many times. These behaviors can take up a lot of time and affect daily life.
