Obsessive Compulsive Disorder:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition marked by distressing, intrusive, obsessive thoughts and repetitive, compulsive physical or mental behaviors. Obsessions and compulsions consume a lot of time, interfere with a person's ability to function properly, and cause great misery. OCD symptoms can appear in kids and teenagers; the condition normally develops gradually and gets worse with age. OCD symptoms might be mild or quite severe. Some people merely have obsessive thoughts rather than compulsive behaviors.
