Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neurobiological illness, classified as an anxiety disorder. the individual with OCD experiences and attempts to suppress recurrent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that cause anxiety or discomfort. Ritualistic behaviors (compulsions) follow and are performed to neutralize and prevent this unease, though the relief is only of a temporary nature. The person realizes that the obsessions are a product of his or her own mind and that the behavior is excessive or unreasonable. Compulsions may consist of mental rituals only, and therefore may be unnoticed by others. Until the illness becomes moderate to severe, the compulsions are often done secretively or are well disguised, so that the person's closest associates are not aware of them. Generally the person feels that he/she is going 'crazy', feels ashamed, and fears telling others about it. Diagnostic Criteria Either obsessions or compulsions: Obsessions as defined by (1), (2), (3), and (4): recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress the thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems

OCD is a real illness that can be treated with medicine and therapy. When you have OCD, you have recurring, upsetting thoughts (called obsessions ). You repeat doing the same thing, over and over again (called compulsions ) to make the thoughts go away. And, you feel like you can't control or stop these thoughts or actions. The obsessions, or upsetting thoughts, can include things like a fear of germs, a fear of being hurt, a fear of hurting others, and disturbing religious or sexual thoughts. The compulsions, or actions you repeat to make the thoughts go away, can be things like counting, cleaning, hand washing, and checking on things. While these actions provide only short-lived relief, not doing them only increases anxiety. Many people who have OCD know that their actions often don't make sense. They may try to hide their problem from family and friends, and may have trouble keeping a job because of their actions. Without treatment, obsessions and the need to perform rituals can take over a person's life. OCD is an

He had known he was different since early childhood, when he became obsessed with erasing pencil marks completely and thought that his parents might come to harm if his actions weren't perfect. But it wasn't until he interviewed an OCD expert on television that he realized he had the condition. With medication and behavioral therapy, his life, as he puts it, has been turned around. Next Dr. Goodwin is joined by Dr. Lorrin Koran , professor of psychiatry at Stanford University and head of the OCD clinic there, and by Janis McClure , the head of the Obsessive-Compulsive foundation of Jacksonville, Florida. Ms. McClure began suffering from OCD at the age of six.
