#1 Worrying and obsessing are two different things. Worry is the process of thinking about something in detail, and it is usually distressing. Obsessions are relatively stable worries that are distressing and often frightening. They are difficult to resist.

#2 Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is an anxiety disorder. It is characterized by symptoms that interfere with your daily social and work activities. About five million people in the United States are thought to suffer from OCD.

#3 Until recently, we have not had specific programs to help the worriers of the world. With the assistance of a mental health professional, individuals can identify their specific distressing thoughts and learn how to replace them with more supportive ones.

#4 You can get better. Thousands of people have used cognitive-behavioral techniques to rid themselves of their obsessions and compulsions. You can overcome your symptoms and take back control of your life step by step.
