Only about 1-3% of the world's population truly experience Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which is a disorder that triggers one to think specific thoughts, perform certain actions, or create mental images excessively and repeatedly in order to relieve anxiety. The level of severity ranges per case, as do the obsessions that OCD initiates. Rather severe cases of OCD lead to violent or harmful, sexual actions repeated, and therefore create harm. Less harmful cases can involve checking things multiple times, such if a door is shut or if a child is alive, along with excessive amounts of cleaning. The information that this blogpost offers ranges from highly scientific content that describes how the disorder is obtained and symptoms of the disorder to highly personal content that explains the impact of the disorder on a sufferer's life and coping methods as well. Additionally, it is key to know that, although a specific gene has not been tracked to cause OCD, the disorder is commonly passed on in families. For this, there is current debate regarding possible links to OCD or if it's even genetic at all.
