Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

If you get intrusive thoughts, images or ideas you wish you didn’t have and feel compelled to have to do things or avoid things to get rid of these thoughts, you might have OCD.  OCD is not just about cleaning, being orderly or making things even.  You can get obsessions about your identity, about harming yourself or others, or about thoughts that seem opposite of your faith, morals or personality.  Unlike people without OCD, getting these thoughts or urges makes you, or your child,  afraid they might become true.
