Best answer
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) can be very bad. The problem is that you can spend most of your days and nights giving into your obsessions and carrying out your compulsions. The time spent on the rituals can waste your whole day, your whole week, month after month. And if you live in a family, then the OCD can be very disruptive to the whole family. And not only does it affect your family, it affect your co-workers, as they have to cover for you while you are absent due to your OCD, or your job performance suffers as you spend so much time on the rituals. OCD affects your schooling, and you may fail due to many absences and not focusing on your schoolwork. And OCD affects your relationships...each hour you are engaged in your rituals is an hour wasted, as you could have been out with your friends.

So OCD can be really bad...it is important to seek help on eradicating OCD.
