Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder that affects millions of adults in India alone. It is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts or behaviors that are difficult to stop or control. OCD can be divided into two major categories: obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Obsessions are intrusive thoughts, impulses, or images that are senseless and distressing while compulsions are repetitive behaviors that temporarily reduce anxiety.
