Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
You're absolutely right about the impact of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) on an individual's life. OCD involves distressing and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed in an attempt to alleviate the anxiety caused by these obsessions. It's indeed a condition that can significantly hamper one's daily functioning and overall quality of life.
