Obsessive Compulusive Disorder. It is where you have to do something in a routine. For example you might have to touch a door three times right after you close it. And you might have to check five times to see if its locked. It is repeating a routine over and over and over again.

OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is a mental illness. A person may have an obsession (a recurring, interfering thought) and/or compulsion (an intrusive need to perform a certain action over and over). Frequently it involves routinized behavior such as hand washing, checking locks, etc. Jack Nicholson in As good as it gets had OCD -- couldn't step on cracks in sidewalk, routinized putting on shoes, etc.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or "rituals") which attempt to neutralize the obsessions. Thus it is an anxiety disorder. It is listed by the World Health Organization as one of the top ten most disabling illnesses in terms of lost income and diminished quality of life.

This may be a waste of time answering this because I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking what O.C.D. is then it has already been answered. If you are asking about the disease where you always think that your are sick even when you are not, that is hypothermia. Both are mental diseases and can be treated with medication.

OCD stands for Obsessive-compulsive disorder. Symptoms include both obsessions and compulsions. OCD symptoms can be severe and time-consuming. For instance, someone who feels that his or her hands have become contaminated by germs — an obsession — may spend hours washing them each day — a compulsion. The focus on hand washing may be so great that he or she can accomplish little else.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an illness that causes people to have distressing, intrusive, irrational thoughts, images or impulses (i.e., obsessions) and to perform repetitive behavioral or mental acts (i.e., compulsions) aimed at reducing distress or preventing some dreaded situation. Click here to see the DSM-IV Criteria for OCD.

Although everyone with OCD has obsessions and/or compulsions, the content varies from person to person. Typical obsessions include repetitive fears of causing harm or being harmed, fears of contamination and illness, fears of making mistakes, intrusive distressing sexual or religious imagery, or fears of losing things. Typical compulsions include repetitive washing and cleaning, excessive checking, excessive ordering and arranging, or extreme hoarding and saving. Some people with OCD have only one type of obsession or compulsion; others have several types of obsessions and compulsions.
