Common Symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

We all are immune to double check whether the car doors are locked, gas stoves are off, and iron is unplugged. But, a person suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) will have an urge to repeat his actions a number of times. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this anxiety disorder has been ranked in the top 10 disabling illness that can interrupt in functioning of your normal routine and have an adverse effect on your quality of life.
