Obsessive-compulsive disorder

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (or "OCD") is an infections cerebral tumor disease which causes the victim to compulsively and self-destructively repeat routine actions like washing, dusting, checking Facebook, touching his or her dirty parts several times a day minute or replying to a troll who is baiting the obsessive-compulsives in a discussion group by answering all posts with misspelled non sequiturs printed in several colors and fonts.

OCD is also a popular diagnosis when e-psychiatry is being performed during a flame war, as it implies any opinion expressed by the diagnosed can be dismissed since it stems from his or her uncontrollable need to be a complete dick.

OCD is most likely the main force that holds most Wikis together (as well as many other parts of the internet).

You cannot resist opening photoshop and fixing that terrible purple pencil!

You cannot resist washing your hands now. Four times, alternating the direction of the scrubbing.

You cannot resist checking if your electric stove is really turned off. What if the little signal light is broken? Better check again!

You cannot resist touching each circle twice and then touching the squares in reversed order.

You cannot resist starting reading this article from the beginning again each time your eyes fall on this arrow.

As A Ploy For Attention

Much like Asperger's Syndrome, OCD is frequently used in self-diagnoses by attention whores. In modern filmography (fucking Monk), certain character quirks are often accounted for by OCD (among other disorders), because the writers are usually too lazy to concoct an actual back story. You do not have OCD.

Actual Diagnosed Patients

hep is an actual diagnosed Obsessive-Compulsive by an IRL psychiatric doctor person who likely has OCD him/herself. It mostly manifests in routines and rituals possibly from being raised Catholic. It runs down directly down the matriarchal line of her family, even her youngest daughter already shows signs of it. In hep's case her OCD actually helps control her OCD but there are still difficulties to work through. Most OCD patients manifest symptoms in different ways depending on severity. Whereas for instance hep is not that badly affected, her mother is insane when not on extreme medication.

Useful OCD

OCD can sometimes be useful for completing tasks that others can't be bothered with doing, such as Einsidler's obsession with fixing double redirects. PROTIP: This is currently unnecessary, as the soulless entity known as MysteryBot now fixes double redirects automatically.
