OCD: Not Just Cleanliness

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often develops in creative and intelligent people and is not limited to being obsessive about sanitizing everything.

People develop compulsive behaviours about leaving their house unlocked, or leaving the car light on. People can have obsessive sexual thoughts or be extremely God-fearing. The common thread is that they are stuck in a ‘thought loop', a constant state of anxiety.
