What are the symptoms of OCD?
OCD shouldn’t be confused with sometimes acting “compulsive.” Individuals who act this way expect a lot from themselves, are very organized in their work and play, and are sometimes called “perfectionists.” This type of “compulsiveness” often has value in a person’s life. It can help a person feel good about themselves and help them be a success on the job. It differs greatly from OCD, which is an illness that can have a devastating effect on a person’s life.
