As in X or Y chromosomes??  Don't know,but I do know that OCD is due in part to an imbalance of serotonin in the brain.

Some people with OCD or impulse control disorders do it.  Its a compulsive behavior.  Kind of like trichotillomania.

Well... There is no such this as AN OCD. There is such thing as OCD. I have OCD, and a thing about grammar. OCD should be looked at as one big disorder, not little quirks here and there. If you have more things like this, for instance the arrangement of your room, then you could look at symptoms for OCD. I think this would be a quirk.

It could be ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder), but you would have to read up on that, as only you know all the details of what you're feeling. You should really talk with your doctor as well.

It sounds like you truely do have OCD. I take it you are underage and cannot obtain medical treatment on your own. If your parents refuse to have you treated please go as soon as you become of age. It can be very sucessfully treated with medication and or therapy.\n\nthis is from a web site:\n\nWhat are obsessions and compulsions?\nObsessions are recurrent, persistent, unwanted ideas, thoughts, images or impulses that are experienced involuntarily, appear to be senseless, and feel out of control. They commonly intrude when you are trying to focus on thinking or doing other things. Obsessions are often accompanied by uncomfortable feelings, such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a sensation that things have to be done in a way that is "just so." \n\nSome common obsessions include: \n\nfear of danger to oneself or others \nfear of contamination \na need for exactness or order \nA compulsion is a repetitive behavior - a ritual - that you feel driven to do, and seemingly cannot stop doing. Compulsions occur as a result of obsessions and represent your attempts to manage your incessant thoughts by doing something to try to settle them. For example, if an obsessive worry is whether or not the door was locked, then a compulsive response might be to check the lock repeatedly. Some common compulsive behaviors are: \n\nexcessive checking \ncounting \nsilent repetition of words \nhand washing \ncleaning \n ordering / arranging \ntouching \npraying \nhoarding \n \n\nObsessions and compulsions range from mild checking behavior (did I lock the door?) to severe cases where you are unable to function based on compulsions having taken over normal life functioning. If we think of obsessive-compulsive traits and behaviors on a continuum of varying degrees and intensities, most people experience them with little or no negative consequence on their daily lives and relationships. \n\nWhen obsessions, compulsions, and perfectionist behaviors take up excessive time and significantly interfere with your daily life and relationships, it is time to seek help. When this occurs, the repetitive and seemingly out-of-control behaviors of obsession and compulsion may be indicative of a disorder that should be addressed with the help of a licensed professional. \n\nIf: \n\nyou feel unable to keep up with your normal appearance and behavior, \nyou can’t work, \nyou cut off connections with friends and families and are unable to socialize, or \nyou can’t take care of yourself and have trouble eating, sleeping, bathing, etc. \nit is time to seek help! \nBehavioral therapy with medications seems to offer the best long-term improvement for the treatment of OCD. Even though you probably realize that your anxiety and behaviors are excessive and irrational, changing them is not a simple matter. Most people with OCD require assistance from a qualified therapist.\n\nCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Generally viewed as the most effective form of psychotherapy for treating most anxiety disorders, CBT involves the use of such techniques as: \nthought-stopping \ngradual challenging of irrational behaviors \nidentifying triggers and separating them from the feelings of extreme fear and the desire to avoid certain situations \nsystematic desensitization focused on the physical sensations of your anxiety \n"post-modern" therapies (such as Narrative and Solution-Focused models), which may help by placing the symptoms outside you and allowing you to tell a new story about them. \nPsychoeducation: One of the difficulties with OCD is the confusion about this disorder. It is frustrating for the individual and family members to manage a situation that is so misunderstood. An early and important part of treatment is getting a good education in what is known about this disorder. \nMedications: Certain anti-depressants (usually SSRIs) or other anti-anxiety medications have had good success with many people who suffer from OCD. It appears that these medications act

Well, first of all, you do not have OCD. If you did, it would really bother you that you had several gramatical errors in your question. As far as the compulsions, find something else that occupies your mind. For example, if you feel compelled to turn lights off three times before leaving a room with odd numbered ceiling tiles and 4 times when leaving a room with even numbered ceiling tiles, you could start reciting a nursery rhym or song in your head before exiting the room. True OCD needs treatment. The best treatments to date are through the use of physician prescribed medications, those which require you to see a physician and discuss your problem with him/her and therapy.  There is no cure only treatment and therapy.

These are some of the many, many different symptoms of OCD and I have no doubt in my mind that you have it. The urge to do something until everything feels right is a textbook description. Ask a trusted doctor to recommend a good psychiatrist, who can help you with a regimen involving medicine (Zoloft is particularly effective) and counseling. Good luck!

It sounds like Compulsive Over Eating. It's a kind of eating disorder where you obsessive over food and  eat more than you need, sometimes to the point where you feel sick. That's my guess.

usually repetitive, disturbing thoughts, that you have difficulty turning you brain off, and not thinking of them, for me its usually watching anything bad on the news, i can go on for days thinking about what a terrible place the world is, and about all the terrible things happening here on earth.  Look up ocd online.  I think the thoughts vary from person to person.  But, there are many meds available that actually help you to control or stop those awful, obsessive thoughts.

I have ocd.  I have to do things an equal amount of time.  Like walking on the sidewalk I have to step twice in each square and after a few steps I have to skip and do the same thing with the other foot going first.  I feel like an idiot when I do that so I'll avoid the sidewalk and walk in the street if I can.  Whenever possible I'll avoid a situation where I know I'll get stuck with my OCD.  If I have the time and patience available I'll face it and work my way through it.
