"A typical person with OCD perform tasks, or compulsion, to seek relief from obsession-related anxiety. Within and among individuals, the initial obsessions, or intrusive thoughts, can vary in their clarity and vividness."

"However, OCD sufferers generally recognize their thoughts and subsequent actions as irrational, and they may become further distressed by this realization."

"While some with OCD perform compulsive rituals because they inexplicably feel they must, others act compulsively so as to mitigate the anxiety that stems from particular obsessive thoughts. The person with OCD might feel that these actions somehow either will prevent a dreaded even tfrom occuring, or will push the event from their thoughts. In any case, the individual's reaosning is so idiosyncratic or distorted that it results in significant distress for the individual with OCD or for those around them."
