People with OCD experience persistent and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that often lead to compulsions or repetitive behaviors that they feel compelled to do to ease their anxiety, fear, or worry. Common obsessions include fear of contamination, worries about making mistakes, and intrusive thoughts about harm coming to oneself or others. Common compulsions include excessive hand-washing and cleaning, repeated checking of doors and appliances, and counting or organizing objects in a certain way.
