10 Symptoms of OCD
OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder, is the fairly self-explanatory name given to a condition in which people feel the need to repeatedly, or compulsively, engage in certain behaviors. If they don’t get a chance to engage in these behaviors, they may feel uncomfortable, much like the feeling of holding in a sneeze.
If you have a friend who constantly needs to organize their room in a certain way, or one who carries a bottle of hand sanitizer to use at every possible opportunity, then these people might fit the criteria for having OCD.
While OCD is not an inherently dangerous condition, it can be good to be aware of it so you can make accommodations and changes to your lifestyle to manage it. There are a number of symptoms that can indicate that you have OCD, and these are ten of the most common.
