“for the OCD sufferer these thoughts get very sticky and they cause us great distress unlike the non-sufferers we we resort to compulsions and compulsion could be anything it could be touching or tapping or thinking through certain problems or whatever the compulsion uh doesn't matter”

“And the compulsions unlike other sorts of behaviors provide brief relief to the obsession but then very quickly reinforce or strengthen the obsession.”

“what starts making it OCD is if you get this like anxiety from not washing your hands or you have these intrusive thoughts that are telling you you're going to get sick or you're going to die because you're not washing your hands that's when it starts becoming OCD”
