Could I have OCD?

Many people have unwanted thoughts or habits. When intrusive thoughts or repetitive behaviors cause significant distress or take up a lot of time, people often wonder about OCD. This educational screening can help you reflect — it is not a diagnosis.

Common signs associated with OCD

  • Recurrent unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that feel intrusive
  • Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals done to reduce anxiety
  • Spending significant time on obsessions or compulsions
  • Distress when unable to perform rituals or neutralize thoughts
  • Checking, cleaning, ordering, or repeating actions beyond what is needed
  • Symptoms interfering with work, relationships, or daily routines
