What is OCD?
Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves unwanted obsessions (thoughts, images, urges) that cause anxiety, and compulsions (behaviors, mental acts) you feel driven to do to reduce that anxiety.

Obsessions: e.g., “What if I left the door unlocked?” “What if I’m contaminated?”
-
Compulsions: e.g., checking, washing, repeating, arranging, mental rituals.

It affects daily life significantly: time consuming, distressing, interfering with work/social life.

Contamination & cleaning: Fears of germs, illness, feeling “unclean”, leading to excessive washing or cleaning.
