What is OCD?

I think a lot of people can suffer temporary OCD when under periods of intense stress, which resolves when the stress passes. In such a case, could it be like a "safety" seeking mechanism of the mind?

I agree that many of us have OCD traits in different degrees. For me I think it's a way to have control in my life.

Dallas I think we all have a bit of OCD in us!! My maiden name or family name is Dallas. It comes from the wee town of Dallas in Morayshire, Scotland. There’s a Dallas Castle too although it’s a bit of a ruin now.
