| obsessive-compulsive disorder |
Obsessive-compulsive neurosis; persistent, unremitting, unrelenting, and irrational thoughts, feelings, or "driven" behaviors (eg, worries about germ contamination with accompanying excessive hand washing) that are refractory to ordinary coping and change methods. These rare obsessions and compulsions may be viewed as maladaptive coping mechanisms for unconscious conflicts and anxieties. Treatment usually requires a multimodal approach including medication, psychotherapy, and long-term support.
