What are signs of an obsessive compulsive disorder?

See below: Ocd is defined by the presence of recurring obessions (thoughts) & compulsions (behaviors) that are distressing to the person because of time consumed or effects of thoughts/acts. Nearly all individuals label the thoughts and behaviors as "weird" or "odd, " even very young children; yet, they can't stop. Usually, the compulsion is an effort to get rid of the thought. Range of symptoms is wide.

Repetitive behavior: Ocd is generally characterized by repetitive behaviors that are difficult to stop despite being frustrating either to the person doing the behaviors or to those in the person's life. There also tends to be difficulty making decisions and a tendency to make and change decisions. In my experience, a low-dose (2 mg each am) of Abilify (aripiprazole) is often the most rapid ; effective treatment for ocd symptoms.

Dr Jacobson agreed

OCD: OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder, which is comprised of obsessions (repeating unwanted thoughts) and compulsions (ritualistic behaviors to help deal with those thoughts) such as washing hands repeatedly, constantly cleaning, checking locks, and other similar behaviors. Often the emotions behind OCD are based in fear and/or anger that is unresolved and even unverbalized.
