OCD isn’t just about cleaning or being perfect: Here’s the WHOLE truth

Many casually claim ‘slight OCD’ when they like things clean, but obsessive-compulsive disorder is a serious condition involving unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors. These obsessions and compulsions, like excessive cleaning or reassurance-seeking, significantly disrupt daily life. Experts advise seeking professional help if these symptoms worsen, consume excessive time, or cause avoidance of activities, distinguishing OCD from mere overthinking.
