Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is basically a disorder affecting the mental health of a person suffering from it. Any person of any age can get caught in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are uncontrolled images, thoughts, or impulses that keep on occurring frequently in the mind. Even though a person tries hard to avoid those thoughts or ideas, but can’t control such thoughts and can often be disturbing and distracting.
