obsessive-compulsive disorder

(Psikoloji, Ruhbilim) A mental illness which causes the sufferer to do something repeatedly for no reason

If someone suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, they cannot stop doing a particular thing, for example washing their hands. Mental disorder in which an individual experiences obsessions or compulsions, either singly or together. An obsession is a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an unreasonable idea or feeling (such as of being contaminated through shaking hands with someone). A compulsion is an irresistible impulse to perform an irrational act (such as repeatedly washing the hands). The two phenomena are usually, but not always, linked in the obsessive-compulsive person. Onset of the illness has been linked to malregulation of the neurotransmitter serotonin as well as to the ill effects of high stress

{i} OCD, psychiatric disorder in which a person experiences recurrent obsessions or compulsive actions
