Best Answer

OCD is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is when something has to be entirely correct or to your particular way of liking it. Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder brought on by a stimulus, example. flying. It causes panic attacks. OCD is not detrimental to your health. It just may cause you to seem strange, aloof and means you have to have something completely entirely right, or you have to perform a certain action numerous times. They are nothing alike.
