Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition characterised by repetitive, ritualistic behaviours and thoughts. Sufferers feel obliged to engage in specific actions because they believe something terrible will happen if they do not. The behaviours become problematic when they interfere with the person’s everyday life and functions. For example, it is a healthy practice to wash one’s hands after activities such as cleaning or gardening. However, when a person washes their hands every 10 minutes because they fear they (or a loved one) will become fatally ill if they do not, then that behaviour enters the realm of OCD.
