Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a long-lasting disorder in which a person experiences recurring and uncontrollable thoughts (obsessions), engages in repetitive behaviors (compulsions), or both. People with OCD have time-consuming symptoms that can cause significant distress or interfere with daily life. However, treatment is available to help people manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Learn more at www.nimh.nih.gov
