OCD: =Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: What is it?=
 * OCD is characterized by OBSESSIONS which are recurring unwanted thoughts that cause high levels of anxiety, and COMPULSIONS which are ritualistic behaviors that are done in an attempt to relieve these thoughts. OCD can range from mild symptoms to severe symptoms that if left untreated could leave a person unable to function "normally" at home, work, or school. Depression is also a side effect of OCD.**
