  is like living with different types of chronic
  illness, similar to diabetes, asthma, or coronary
  illness. This requires boldness, support from
  companions, family, and collaborators, as well as
  a solid association with both clinical and mental
  essential backings.
• OCD is a repetitive compulsion or pattern of
  unwanted thoughts and obsessions. These
  obsessions and compulsions make daily activities
  difficult and interfere with the normal
  functioning of life.
• The more people try to avoid and stop these
  compulsions they tend to increase as well as
  cause more distress. The compulsion is due
  to fear, anxiety, and the tendency of perfection.

  good way, OCD can capture your day. Obsessive
  thoughts leading to compulsive behavior
  accompanied by anxiety can occupy a huge amount
  of time and energy.
• However, prescription and treatment help in
  treating this long-lasting condition, taking care
  of oneself is a distinct advantage with a lot of
  side advantages.
