You have probably heard others discussing OCD casually, either amongst people in your inner-circle or in the media. Maybe you’ve heard someone say they’re “so OCD” about something or that “everyone is a little OCD.” This has likely left you confused about what this disorder really is and how to know if what you’re experiencing is OCD or not. Talking about it in this way leads to many misconceptions, causing individuals to question their symptoms and character and feel unsure of how to get help. If this is you, you’re not alone.
