Has it happened that you had walked back to your garage to cross check whether your car is locked???

Considering that these obsessive compulsive disorder thoughts are involuntary and uncontrollable, many think that it OCD is a syndrome that has no solution. However, the fact lies that OCD is definitely a rectifiable syndrome that needs self-commitment and therapies that would help you get over the constantly haunting thoughts. However, for any problem to be solved it is first necessary to identify the problem.
