10 Symptoms of OCD

Symptom #2: Cleaning
Most people like to live in an environment that’s relatively clean. It’s nice to know where things can be found and it’s comfortable not to have things strewn all over the floor.
Many people who have OCD tend to clean compulsively, though, even if things are already relatively clean. This is often seen in people who compulsively wash their hands because of their fear of germs. Or they may feel the need to scrub a mirror or window that was just cleaned hours earlier.
If you’re spending so much time cleaning that it impacts your other daily activities, you may want to seek some help for OCD.
