what are the symptoms?

"Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a

neurobiological disorder affecting 1 in 40 adults

and 1 in 100 children. The hallmark of OCD is

the presence of recurrent, intrusive

thoughts, impulses, or images (obsessions) or repetitive

behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Common

symptoms include contamination fears, excessive

hand washing, horrific thoughts and images, and checking

can devastate a person's life. Related disorders

frequently coexist with OCD, including depression,

anxiety disorders, Tourette Syndrome, and

Attention Deficit Disorder."
