If you find that your thoughts repeat themselves over and rarely stop on their own, you might have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
An obsession is an repeated thought that is involuntary or unwanted. A compulsion is an action or behavior that you feel that you *must* do. Obsessions typically cause some sense of anxiety or just bad feelings in a person with OCD and performing the compulsion temporarily relieves this anxiety. Over time, performing the compulsion becomes less relieving and the person must have to complete more intense activities to achieve the same degree of relief. This can lead the person to spend debilitating amounts of time performing rituals.
