Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood and misrepresented. While many joke about being "a little OCD" when organizing their workspace or cleaning, true OCD is far more complex and debilitating. It involves persistent, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce the anxiety these thoughts provoke. These rituals may provide temporary relief, but they can dominate a person’s daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
