10 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Symptoms

Symptom #7: Touching Objects
To understand patients with OCD, we need to be able to find the pathway leading to the symptoms. In OCD usually, it all starts with an obsession, an idea that you can’t get out of your mind. To deal with this obsession your brain creates distractions in the form of compulsions.
One of the most common compulsions we find in OCD patients is the touching of objects without a purpose. Turning on and off the light switch a bunch of times before exiting a room, is a classical sign of this symptom.
