What is OCD?
OCD is a mental health condition that is often misrepresented or misunderstood. People who insist on having a clean house may joke that they have 'a bit of OCD'. However, OCD symptoms vary widely and can be quite difficult for some people to manage.
While we may see common symptoms - such as repeated handwashing or obsessive cleaning as evidence of OCD - it's possible to have the condition and have no outward sign of it.
"Some people have OCD, but even their partner or parents won't see it," explains Peter Klein, cognitive behavioural therapist. "They may be having unwanted thoughts or images."
Who are these questions for?
सामग्री पर वापस जाएंIf you are having repetitive, unwanted thoughts, or feel the need to carry out certain behaviours, such as checking for possible danger or organising items in a set way, it may be that you have OCD. These simple questions should help you understand more about the condition and see whether you have symptoms.

Who is more likely to develop OCD?
सामग्री पर वापस जाएं"1-3% of the population have OCD," explains Klein. "And the number is more like 10% if you include related conditions such as body dysmorphia or eating disorders - which have some of the same traits."
OCD can be brought on or made worse by stress. While some people may inherit a greater chance of developing the condition, anyone can develop a mental health problem at any time.
What are the questions about?
सामग्री पर वापस जाएंThe eight questions relate to common OCD symptoms. The first four questions relate to thought symptoms. The second four are about compulsions you might be experiencing. The questions are designed to estimate the likelihood of you having the condition.
Each answer also contains advice relating to that particular symptom. You may find these helpful both in terms of understanding how you are feeling and whether your symptoms may relate to OCD or another disorder.

How accurate is the result?
सामग्री पर वापस जाएंThe answers to the questions should not be treated as a diagnosis. However, it could be a useful tool if you have symptoms and want to understand more about the way you are feeling. It should help you to understand whether your symptoms may be related to OCD.
If you are concerned about your mental health in any way, you should seek specialist advice, from your doctor, your local A&E department or by contacting the Samaritans.
How is OCD treated?
सामग्री पर वापस जाएंYour treatment for OCD will depend on how much the condition affects your day to day life.
The 2 main treatments are:
Talking therapy – such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), where you talk to a trained professional about your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Medicines – your specialist doctor may prescribe you antidepressants or other types of medication, to help you control the obsessions and compulsions of OCD.
If you have more severe OCD, you may need a longer course of combined therapy and medicine.

Many of us have intrusive, unwanted thoughts sometimes, but we usually manage to brush them aside without them affecting our lives.

What it's like to have postnatal OCD
New motherhood is an exciting but difficult time, as women adjust to the change in their bodies and lifestyle, as well as the challenges of caring for a newborn. It's common for women to feel anxious, but for some, worries and concerns can develop into a mental health problem, or cause an existing problem to become much more severe.
