Dr. Paula Levine, Psychologist and Founding Director of the Miami Counseling Resource Center, says Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves obsessions (thoughts) and compulsions (actions). She describes obsessions can be: fear of germs or contamination, unwanted forbidden or taboo thoughts involving sex, religion and harm, aggressive thoughts towards others or self, having things symmetrical or in a perfect order. She also explains compulsions include excessive cleaning and hand washing, arranging things in a particular way, repeatedly checking on things and compulsive counting. The specialist says obsessions and compulsions often don't match each other.
