The "C" in OCD stands for "compulsive". OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, which is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent and intrusive thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) that cause distress or anxiety, and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to alleviate that distress. The compulsions are often excessive and not realistically connected to the obsessions.
