Hi! I have following symptoms. I repeatedly washing my hands out of fear they are contaminated. Also I constantly cleaning the house and vacuuming even when no dirt is visually seen. Can someone tell me if I have OCD?

Hi! I have OCD, but I don’t have compulsions concerning cleaning. I have obsessions concerning order. An obsession concerning order was most important in my life. You have OCD when symptoms cause significant distress, symptoms take up more than 1 hour a day, and symptoms significantly interfere with work, relationships, or daily functioning. I think that you should see psychiatrist. Psychiatrist will tell you do you have OCD. Early treatment is very important. Good lack!
