From the website:
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neuro-biological illness, classified as an anxiety disorder. The individual with OCD experiences and attempts to suppress recurrent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that cause anxiety or discomfort. Ritualistic behaviours (compulsions) follow and are performed to neutralize and prevent this unease, though the relief is only of a temporary nature. The person realizes that the obsessions are a product of his or her own mind and that the behaviour is excessive or unreasonable. Compulsions may consist of mental rituals only, and therefore may be unnoticed by others. Until the illness becomes moderate to severe, the compulsions are often done secretively or are well disguised, so that the person's close associates are not aware of them. Generally the person feels that he/she is going 'crazy', feels ashamed, and fears telling others about it.
OCD-type behaviours can be associated with other illnesses, i.e. Panic Disorder, Tourette's Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Learning Disabilities, dementia, head injury and Schizophrenia.
OCD Spectrum Disorders include: trichotillomania, hypochondriasis, body dysmorphic disorder, and eating disorders
