People with Ocd often have either touching rituals (where they touch certain objects or have the feeling they must touch something) or they are afraid of bacteria ( ie they are afraid of germs or becoming sick, and or they frequently wash their hands). Some signs are also unusual intelligence, because your mind thinks so much about the actions it does it often results in intelligence.
Mental disorders are a tricky thing. You can convince yourself you have one thing, and it is really something else, something more serious, or nothing at all. If you think you are having a mental issue, it is best to talk to your doctor. They can get you going to the right places.
Some OCD symtoms include:
Compulsions: Compulsions can take many forms, and aren't always from OCD. You may feel compelled to only eat an even number of bites, count all of your steps throughout the day, keep things in perfect lines, close a door three times if walking through it, or any number of other things. If they don't do these things, they begin to get a lot of anxiety over missing the actions.
Nail biting or hair plucking:
Nail biting and hair pulling is a common habit among those with OCD. It can be extreme. The person may be missing their eyebrows or have bald spots on their head from the pulling or finger plucking.
Fear of missing a repetitive action:
If the person does the same thing at a same time over and over, they can develop a fear of what will happen if they do not. If they tell their spouse to be safe every day when the souse leaves for work, and they miss a day, they might dread the entire day that the souse will get into a car accident.
some common signs of OCD are:
- checking things over and over (such as if the stove is turned off, if the doors are locked)
- having to touch or do things a certain number of times (turn the lights on exactly 4 times, etc.)
- constantly worrying about whether or not things are sanitary/clean
They will tend to have constant repetitive behaviours, or 'ritualistic' behaviours. It isn't enough just to always double check the door is locked or the oven is really off. OCD causes someone to have constant uncertainty, and perform ritualistic behaviours day in, day out. Unfortunately, unless you have seen someone doing these behaviours plenty of times, you can't just tell simply by looking at them.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is recognised by the repetitive behaviours a person exhibits throughout their day. Although this is a generalised answer, there are many symptoms of OCD that may need to be discussed with a health practitioner and then a referral would follow to help identify if there is suspicion of OCD.
Get an IQ test, OCD is sometimes a side effect for geniuses. Other than that not much you can do. OCD is generally constantly changing and somewhat reduced as you get older. What you obsess about will change and also degree. OCD's also tend to be superstitious.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder that does not discriminate against age, race, or time. This disorder has a significant impact on the lives of many Americans. But what many might find surprising is that OCD does not care whether you are famous or worth millions of dollars either. So, imagine its impact on rich and famous people with OCD who are constantly in the spotlight.
go for intensive therapy until your OCD is suppressed...also maybe some zoloft
if you have ocd you do things more than once a lot
I know that it's annoying to have both OCD and ADHD
actually,no. you will know if you have OCD because you will need everything a certain way, or be afraid of certain things. OCD is not a joke it is a serious health and mental condition so stop playing around, it isn't funny.
