Obsessive Compulsive disorder is actually made of two different things.
Obsessions... these are things that run through our minds... we can't seem to make them stop. Some people have obsessions with irrational fears (bugs, heights, public speaking), others with things like being "dirty" or being harmed by another person. Try as we may, these obsessions are usually difficult to conquer without some help.
Compulsions differ from obsessions... a compulsion is a seemingly uncontrollable desire to do something. One who suffers from compulsions may feel a need to gamble although he or she recognizes the dangers, may brush his or her teeth a certain number of times in each direction, turn the lights on and off a certain number of times, or wipe his or her hands between each bite of food.
