A member asked:

Is it considered ocd if the problem is partially a concern. like using public toilet & thinking every part of it is dirty and potentially contaminated?

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

OCD : Typically has a grain of truth in the concern someone has but it gets blown way out of proportion. Please consult w/a clinical psychologist who treats mood disorders. He/she will help you figure out if your situation needs to be treated. Peace and good health. One red flag is a fear that “something bad will happen” if you don’t do something though you may not be able to identify it.
