Its when people have to do certain things before they do stuff. Like I know this lady who before she buys anything she has to look at everyone to make sure she gets the best one. Also, it can be little things like, someone haveing to brush their teeth like a ceartain amout of times or they like freak. Its weird.

It is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense, recurrent, unwanted thoughts and rituals that are beyond the person's control.

Often people will just have to do something. like, their bedroom HAS to be clean. like they HAVE to take only 13 steps to get to their bedroom. or they HAVE to bake on saturday. I know, I'm a very clean person with OCD.
