The state in which an individual feels the urge to do something repeatedly or has recurring thoughts is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

  • Fear of harming self or others
  • Fear of disease causing microbes or dirt or contaminating others
  • Fear of not having the needed things
  • Greater focus on moral or religious ideas
