Symptom #8: Touching Objects
It is important to understand that the root of this condition starts with the obsession, an idea that you can’t get out of your mind. In order to deal with this obsession, patients develop behaviors to alleviate and distract themselves (known as compulsions).
The need to touch or tap certain objects multiple times is a known symptom associated with OCD. It could be reflected as the need to turn on and off the lights several times before exiting a room.
