Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (and COVID-19)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder in which people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that raises their level of anxiety and drive them to perform certain ritual or actions (compulsions) that serves to lower their anxiety about their thoughts. The compulsive behaviors can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions. Some people with OCD have faced psychological distress and worse "symptoms" in the wake of the pandemic.
