Obsessive disorders are a kind of anxiety disorder in which one worries constantly about things that may not have been done properly or things that might happen. These people may be overly conforming, perfectionist, or unsure of themselves. They tend to redo tasks if there are any imperfections. They tend to seek approval and need constant reassurance about their performance and their anxieties (adapted from DSM-IV).
