Answer 1

O.C.D. is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. -- upsetting or distressing thoughts, impulses or images that happen in your mind over and over again. you can't stop the thoughts or images even when you try.

Check out this website: www.ocdonline.com then go to "what is O.C.D.?". Don't be alarmed about it. there are probably support groups. and ways of treating it with medication now. when you go to the Doctors again just keep asking questions till you get some kind of answer that you yourself can understand. read up on it I had when my daughter was diagnosed with A.D.D. That was 19 years ago and I went to the Library and felt like I was back in school again. Learning a whole new field. Good Luck to you!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a potentially disabling anxiety disorder. A person who has OCD has intrusive and unwanted thoughts and repeatedly performs tasks to get rid of the thoughts. For example, if you have OCD, you may fear that everything you touch is contaminated with germs, and in order to ease that fear, you repeatedly wash your hands.

The effects of OCD range from mild to severe. OCD can disrupt your social life and relationships as well as your ability to work or go to school.

HERE ARE SOME SYMPTOMS:


Obsessions, which are recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas, and impulses that interrupt normal thinking and cause anxiety or fear. The thoughts may be sexual or violent or create a concern of illness. Examples include:
Persistent fear of harm to yourself or a loved one.
An excessive need to do things perfectly or correctly.
A fear of contamination.
Compulsions, which are behaviors or rituals that are repeated intentionally to try to control the obsessions. Some people have rituals that are rigid and structured, while others have very complex rituals that change. Examples include:
Washing or checking.
Counting, often while doing another compulsive action, such as hand-washing.
Repeating things or endlessly rearranging items to keep them in perfect alignment.
Hoarding.
Praying.
People vary in their understanding
