What are the symptoms of OCD? I think my brother is suffering from OCD.

[Jorge]

Hello, I am 19 years old female I think my brother is suffering from Obsessive-compulsive disorder as he is obsessed with making things symmetrical. He even wants us to fold his clothes in perfect symmetry sometimes it is irritating. Can anyone share some other symptoms of OCD? I am not sure but I am looking for other symptoms. Thank You.

@jorge Hello, Yes Obsessive-compulsive disorder usually includes both obsessions and compulsions. But it's also possible to have only obsession symptoms or only compulsion symptoms. You may or may not realize that your obsessions and compulsions are excessive. Other symptoms of OCD are: Fear of contamination or dirt, Doubting and having difficulty tolerating uncertainty, Needing things orderly and symmetrical, and Unwanted thoughts, including aggression, or sexual or religious subjects. Thanks.
