Can obsessive compulsive disorder get worse?
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.

If someone is slipping and repeating the same words and phrases over and over, it can mean the person has obsessive-compulsive disorder. They simply cannot get whatever it is out of their head. It can also means something more serious if it gets worse or continues for a long time. It can point to an organic brain disorder such as Tourrettes or psychosis. Some people with certain types of partial seizures can do this too. It can also just mean the person is preoccupied or anxious about something.
