Often described as the "disease of doubt," the sufferer usually knows the obsessive thoughts and compulsions are irrational but, on another level, fears they may be true.
Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have both obsessions and compulsions, but occasionally a person will have just one or the other.
Some people are barely bothered, while others find the obsessions and compulsions to be profoundly traumatic and spend much time each day in compulsive actions.
Compulsions usually involve repetitive rituals such as excessive washing (especially hand washing or bathing), cleaning, checking and touching, counting, arranging, and/or hoarding.
While these compulsions may temporarily ease stress, short-term comfort is purchased at a heavy price-time spent repeating compulsive actions and a long-term interference with life.
The compulsions of OCD, on the other hand, are never pleasurable.
This may be skewed because females are more likely to seek attention for a medical problem, and because it is easier for males to disguise their compulsions, e.g. by shaving or because of social acceptance of male pattern hair loss.
