What is the nickname for OCD

[DreamWeaver]

"Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with a question I have. What is the nickname for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? I'm doing some research on mental health and came across this acronym, but I'm not sure what it stands for or what nickname is associated with it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The nickname for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is "the doubting disease." OCD is a mental health disorder characterized by intrusive and obsessive thoughts (doubts) and compulsive behaviors. People with OCD often experience anxiety and distress due to their thoughts and behaviors. Common compulsions include excessive hand washing, checking, organizing, and counting. Treatment for OCD usually involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or medication.
