Obsessive Compulsives Disorder OCDObsessionsMany of us have our little quirks and habits. Sometimes things nagging at our minds. So, when do these quirks become Obsessions, Compulsions or OCD? When they produce anxiety, discomfort, guilt or fear. There are many different types of OCD (see http://www.ocd-free.org/typesofocd). "Pure O" is when the person experiences Obsessions without the compulsion. Obsessions are intrusive, irrational thoughts -- unwanted ideas or impulses that repeatedly well up in a person's mind. Again and again, the person experiences disturbing thoughts, such as "My hands must be contaminated, I must wash them"; "I may have left the gas stove on"; "I am going to injure my child"; "Maybe I am a homosexual", etc. CompulsionsA compulsion is a behavior in which a person feels that they have to engage in a certain activity, which they would not normally want to do. Tics are not the only compulsion but are an extreme example. Sniffling, blinking, clearing one's throat, relocking door, re-arranging items, etc. They have to do some action to "feel right"... whatever the compulsion might be.
