10 Symptoms of OCD

Symptom #4: Counting
One symptom of OCD that can be a bit difficult to evaluate is the consistent need to do things a certain number of times. For example, you may feel the need to climb the stairs two at a time or scrub a dish a certain number of times before it feels ‘done.’
It’s good to scrub a dish enough times to ensure that it’s clean, and it can be fun to climb the stairs two at a time. However, if you are unable to climb stairs normally, or if you’re scrubbing dishes long after they’re clean just to meet the number count, it could be beneficial to seek some help for your OCD.
