Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a longlasting condition in which a person experiences uncontrollable and recurring thoughts (obsessions), engages in repetitive behaviors (compulsions), or both. Individuals with OCD have time-consuming symptoms that can cause significant distress or interfere with daily life. Various treatment methods are available for OCD, including pharmacotherapy and psychosurgery.
