Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition marked by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions).
- Obsessions: These are intrusive and distressing thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety. Common examples include fears of contamination, harming others, or making mistakes.
