COMPULSION
You may have heard someone say to a person who seems too picky, "You are just obsessive-compulsive!" But what does it really mean?
An obsession is a thought, an idea, or an image that you cannot get out of your mind. Common obsessions involve doubts, fears, orderliness, aggression, and sexual images. A compulsion is a feeling that you have to do something. Compulsions are physical or mental acts that you perform over and over. Common compulsions include counting, washing, arranging and checking things again and again. When these tendencies are exaggerated, it is called an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
