Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of mental illness many adults suffer from. This illness causes unwanted thoughts, and to get rid of the thoughts, a person with OCD will continue to do the same tasks repeatedly. For example, an individual may be overly concerned about his weight and may weigh himself several times a day, or another person may excessively wash his hands for fear of contracting germs. Treatment typically consists of a combination of medication and professional counseling.
