It can, but it depends on the person who has it, what they know about OCD, and how they're feeling. I myself began with simple OCD that was little more than superstition, and over a few years it got worse and more time consuming until I was afraid even to get out of bed. I'm recovering now with therapy, so it also gets better.

Usually, it does. However, that depends a lot on whether it is treated in some way or not.

If you don't treat it, yes it can get worse. This is why it's important to take your medication properly.
