OCD can be difficult to endure for not only the person but others around but it is important to understand why a person with OCD acts and behaves to better help him/her. OCD is a form of anxiety and leads to various compulsions or rituals to satisfy anxious thoughts. OCD is not always just about cleanliness but also can be about order or for whatever matters most to a particular individual.
