Introduction
    The prevalence of psychological problems has been observed in recent years primarily due to the proliferation of awareness regarding the notions of mental health and wellbeing. One of the most common forms of mental health problems is OCD, which is known as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can be described as a kind of disorder where people tend to have repetitive thoughts which are completely unwanted in nature, or ideas or sensations, (obsessions), that make them feel driven to do something in a recu
ing manner (compulsively). Obsessive and compulsive activities such instance, repetitive hand washing can interfere with the daily activities of the individual. As a result of these obsessive-compulsive activities, the daily chores of the people get hindered.
DSM5 Diagnostic Criteria
    Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can be described as a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with a tremendous extent of orderliness, perfectionism, along mental as well as interpersonal control. All these aspects are done at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency as some of the following criteria will be described in the following section of this part itself.
1. Patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder are extremely preoccupied with rules, details, lists, order, organization, or schedules to such an extent that the central point of the activity is completely lost while being preoccupied with the organisational and the structural factors of the same. That is to say, according to Fullana et al., (2020), for instance, if an individual suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder is eating a particular meal, he/she will become completely and entirely preoccupied with the order of the cutlery as well as the organisation of the dishes, the a
angement of the utensils and so on to the extent that he/she will forget the function of sitting at the dinner table, that is, eating the meal.
2. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder are extremely concerned with the notion of perfectionism that even interferes with the sense of completion of the tasks. For instance, a child suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder has started working on a particular project. However, due to the extreme extent of perfectionism, the child is unable to satiate his/her sense of perfectionism and satisfy his/her needs and requirements. As a result of this, according to Szechtman et al., (2020), the child repeatedly does the same task to make it perfect, leaving the other tasks behind, thereby failing to complete the project within the particular time frame that has been given to him/her. The overt sense of perfectionism hinders the patient with the obsessive-compulsive disorder to complete the task at hand, as he/she continues repeating the same task over and over again to satisfy his/her sense of perfectionism.
3. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder are extremely devoted to working as well as productivity to the extent that they exclude leisure from their schedules. The people in a way, also exclude social relationships, such as friendships to become more productive, thereby becoming a workaholic. However, these work activities are not associated with economic necessities.
4. The people suffering from the problem of obsessive-compulsive disorder are overtly conscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about certain matters which are inclusive of morality, ethics, values, and so on. That is to say, they are extremely stringent about certain issues that relate to morality, ethics, and so on, which prevent them from becoming pliant in different senses.
5. The patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder experience a great deal of difficulty in getting rid of worn-out things, even the things that lack significant sentimental value. That is to say, for instance, according to Thambyand Khanna (2019), they prefer to keep things with them rather than getting rid of them as soon as they do not need them.
6. These people experience a significant amount of difficulty in delegating tasks to others and making others work in the form of a team. According to Kushki et al., (2019), they are only able to work in the form of a team, when the other people submit to their style of work entirely. Otherwise, it becomes an extremely critical feat to work in a team-based manner for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
7. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder have a miserly way of spending. That is to say, they believe money is meant for hoarding and ought to be saved for future catastrophes (Stewart et al., 2019).
8. They also show extreme rigidity and stu
ornness.
Short and Long Term Impacts
    Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can have major impacts on the lives of the affected individual, their family as well as the community. There can be both short-term as well as long-term effects of mental health disease. At the very outset, according to Chakraborty andKarmakar (2020), the disease can have a profound impact on the individual's life. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can take up many significant hours of the day of the life of the affected individual. For instance, if the affected individual has a disorder of washing hands due to the fear of contamination of germs, he/she will be compelled to wash hands frequently throughout the day. Such kinds of obsessive habits can interfere with social relationships with family members as well as friends. It can also have a significantly negative impact on education as well as employment of the affected individual to a great extent. The performance of the individual can be impacted to a great extent as a result of which different aspects of the academic or the employment field can face a great extent of deterioration.
    With the severity of the problem of obsessive-compulsive disorder, one of the greatest issues that flare-up is the issue of avoidance. The affected individual tends to avoid every other individual in his/her life, be it personal or professional. This is primarily because the affected individual fears that other people might be a trigger to his/her obsessive fears which might lead to compulsive activities. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can make the lives of people extremely difficult. For instance, doing small tasks can be extremely difficult for people suffering from an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Their preoccupation with perfectionism hinders them from completing the tasks they have at hand. In addition to that, their major preoccupations with the structuring of the objects also prevent them from doing their duties and following up on their central functions. As a result of these problems, they tend to become more homebound, as they feel extremely insecure among the external public. They feel that they are judged by the people outside their home space (Banerjee, 2020).
    There are also significant long-term impacts, on the affected individual, their families, as well as the communities. According to Mathes et al., (2019), individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder have a greater tendency to develop different mental diseases and problems such as depression and other anxiety disorders which are inclusive of panic disorder, separation anxiety, and social anxiety. The people affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder are extremely emba
assed by the different symptoms of their disease and do their best to hide them from the...
