		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Added information about OCD (What is OCD?, What are obsessions?, What are compulsions?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''OCD''' ('''O'''bsessive-'''c'''ompulsive '''d'''isorder) is an anxiety disorder characterised by obsessive thoughts and physical and/or mental compulsions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= What are obsessions? =&lt;br /&gt;
An obsession is a persistent thought, image or urge that triggers&lt;br /&gt;
distress. These obsessions are frequent, unwanted and difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
control or get rid of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common obsessions include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Fear of contamination from dirt, germs, viruses, bodily fluids, faeces, chemicals, dangerous materials&lt;br /&gt;
* Fear of being harmed (e.g. doors not being locked)&lt;br /&gt;
* Excessive concern with order or symmetry&lt;br /&gt;
* Obsessions with body or physical symptoms&lt;br /&gt;
* Blasphemous thoughts (e.g. offending God)&lt;br /&gt;
* Upsetting sexual thoughts&lt;br /&gt;
* Thoughts of violence or aggression&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should also be noted that studies have shown that all people&lt;br /&gt;
experience intrusive thoughts from time to time. However, a person with OCD worries that an intrusive thought is a&lt;br /&gt;
sign of danger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= What are compulsions? =&lt;br /&gt;
Compulsions are repetitive behaviours or mental acts that a person&lt;br /&gt;
feels driven to perform in response to an obsession. Most people&lt;br /&gt;
with OCD have more than one compulsion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Often people think something awful will happen if they do not act on&lt;br /&gt;
their compulsions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Common compulsions include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Checking (e.g. taps, gas, locked doors)&lt;br /&gt;
* Cleaning/washing&lt;br /&gt;
* Repeating acts&lt;br /&gt;
* Ordering or striving for symmetry/ exactness&lt;br /&gt;
* Counting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Often people think something awful will happen if they do not act on&lt;br /&gt;
their compulsions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These types of compulsions may be quite noticeable to an observer.&lt;br /&gt;
However, there are lots of compulsions which can be carried out in a&lt;br /&gt;
person’s head. These are known as mental compulsions (e.g. saying&lt;br /&gt;
a fixed repetitive prayer, or a certain pattern of words).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
