Rage: Not necessarily, depending on the situation, could be a defense mechanism, anxiety or mood disorder.

OCD: Although it may occur in some with ocd, it is not diagnostic in and of itself. Many people may have similar reactions without a diagnosis of ocd. It is true that control and fear of loss of control occurs in this condition.
