The disorder features two main components - obsessions, which are unwanted and persistent thoughts, images or urges that the person tries to ignore or suppress, and compulsions, which are repetitive behaviors performed according to certain rules in an attempt to reduce anxiety, though the person recognizes they are meaningless. Treatment options include psychotropic drugs, behavioral psychotherapy, and cognitive therapy.
