Many of us have times when we are super-focused on checking things, or being organised. 
But OCD is more than a personality trait, where we may describe ourselves as “a bit OCD” about specific things.
The NHS defines OCD as “a mental health condition where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours“. It can be incredibly distressing, and can have a major impact on daily activities.
It can affect adults and children, often becoming noticeable in early childhood.
- Obsessions (thoughts) may be distressing, unwanted and persistant. There may be a fear of infection or intrusive thoughts
- Compulsions (actions) may include repetitive behaviours such as excessive checking, counting or washing hands
