Quoted from the Mayo Clinic, OCD sufferers may or may not realize that their obsessions and compulsions are excessive or unreasonable.
"OCD obsessions are recurring, persistent, and unwanted thoughts, urges, and images that cause suffering or anxiety," the Mayo Clinic wrote.
Some of the obsessions that often occur are fear of contamination or dirt, doubt, and difficulty tolerating uncertainty, requiring things to be orderly and symmetrical.
People with OCD also often have aggressive or terrifying thoughts about losing control and hurting themselves or others, as well as unwanted thoughts such as aggression and sexual or religious subjects. (mcr9/mcr20/jpnn)
