Common Symptoms of OCD
Although obsessive-compulsive disorder usually includes both obsessions and compulsions, it is completely possible to have only obsession symptoms or only compulsion symptoms. Those with OCD may or may not realize that their obsessions and compulsions are excessive or unreasonable, but they take up a great deal of time and interfere with daily routines and functioning. Here are just a few of the the most commons signs of OCD:
Fear of contamination or dirt
Doubting and having difficulty tolerating uncertainty or the unknown
Counting in certain patterns
Needing things orderly and symmetrical
Unwanted thoughts, including aggression, or sexual or religious subjects
Hand-washing until your skin becomes raw
Arranging your canned goods to face the same way
Checking doors repeatedly to make sure they're locked
Checking the stove repeatedly to make sure it's off
Counting in certain patterns
Silently repeating a prayer, word or phrase
