What is OCD?

OCD involves patterns of unwanted thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress. Despite efforts to ignore or get rid of bothersome thoughts or urges, they keep coming back, leading to more ritualistic behavior — the vicious cycle of OCD.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of OCD is unknown, but a combination of genetic, neurological, behavioral, cognitive, and environmental factors may contribute. Risk factors include:

  • Family history of OCD
  • Stressful life events
  • Differences in the brain that may be genetic or developed
  • Other mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or tics

OCD Symptoms

Symptoms of OCD are generally categorized into obsessions and compulsions:

  • Obsessions are repeated thoughts, urges, or mental images that cause anxiety. Common themes include fear of contamination, needing things orderly, aggressive thoughts towards others or self.
  • Compulsions are repetitive behaviors that a person with OCD feels the urge to do in response to an obsessive thought. Common compulsions include excessive cleaning, ordering, checking, and repeatedly checking on things.
