What are obsessive-compulsive symptoms

Forced Association: repeatedly recalling a series of unfortunate events will happen, although knowing it is impossible, but can not restrain. 2. Forced recollection: repeated recollection of unimportant things once done, although knowing that there is no significance, but can not restrain. 3. Forced doubt: if you doubt whether the doors and windows are really closed after going out, go back to check repeatedly. Otherwise, I feel anxious. 4. Obsessive thinking: repeatedly thinking about natural phenomena or events in daily life, knowing that it is meaningless, but unable to restrain, such as repeatedly thinking: "why does the house face south instead of North?"

Second: forced action 1, forced washing: repeatedly wash hands or wash objects. 2. Forced inspection: such as repeatedly checking the locked doors and windows, checking the written bills, letters or manuscripts, etc. 3. Forced counting: uncontrollably count steps, poles, do a certain number of actions, otherwise feel uneasy, if missed to count again.

Third, compulsive intention. Patients feel a strong internal drive to do something against their will. For example, some patients have an impulse to jump down when they stand on the balcony; or some patients have an impulse to fall to the ground when they hold their baby. Although the patient will not really do it, and also know that this idea is irrational, but this impulse can not be controlled, can not help but think, even ready to implement.
