Video Summary
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent, irrational thoughts and compulsive behaviors, which take more than one hour per day and cause significant distress and anxiety. In people with OCD, compulsions themselves might be unpleasant, but their performance may bring relief and ease the distress caused by the obsession. Treatment may involve cognitive behavioral therapy, and drugs specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as sertraline.
