It is a mental health condition in which a person suffers from ideas and a political and compulsive activity.
Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder where people feel the need to check things repeatedly, perform certain routines repeatedly (called "rituals"), or have certain thoughts repeatedly.[1] People are unable to control either the thoughts or the activities for more than a short period of time.[1] Common activities include hand washing, counting of things, and checking to see if a door is locked.[1] Some may have difficulty throwing things out.[1] These activities occur to such a degree that the person's daily life is negatively affected.[1] Often they take up more than an hour a day.[2] Most adults realize that the behaviors do not make sense.[1] The condition is associated with tics, anxiety disorder, and an increased risk of suicide.[2][3]
The cause is unknown.[1] There appear to be some genetic components with both identical twins more often affected than both non-identical twins.[2] Risk factors include a history of child abuse or other stress inducing event.[2] Some cases have been documented to occur following infections.[2] The diagnosis is based on the symptoms and requires ruling out other drug related or medical causes.[2] Rating scales such as the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) can be used to assess the severity.[7] Other disorders with similar symptoms include anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, eating disorders, tic disorders, and obsessive–compulsive personality disorder.[2]

Interesting discussions. Indeed, we must however realize that not all ritualistic activities are born out of OCDS. Some are born out of moral drives for ethics such as keen interest in handwashing, locking of doors. However, when one is obsessed and performs it compulsively. Such a person feels restless and even offensive when those activities are not undertaken by others. TOCDS. This must be checked, otherwise it can lead to irregularities in brain functioning which can lead of high fevers, insanity and in extreme cases suicide. Psychotherapy and prescribed medications can help correct this health anomaly. Thanks and best regards
