What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
OCD is a mental health disorder that causes unwanted thoughts (called obsessions) and urges to repeat actions (called compulsions). It can make day-to-day activities hard. Teens with OCD might wash their hands a lot, check things many times, or struggle with excessive concerns about germs, safety, or order.
These repetitive behaviors can affect school, friendships, and family life. OCD is more than just liking things neat or clean. It’s a mental health condition that needs care from a mental health professional.
