Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

You may have heard people saying that those who like their things neat and clean “are OCD”. In fact, this is a common misconception that people have, and the actual condition is more complex. How then, do we differentiate between the clinical condition of OCD and the myth of OCD?

OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. As the name suggests, it comprises obsessions and compulsions, although an individual with OCD may not experience both.
