original_response: I'm not sure. Most adults with OCD realize that their behaviors don't make sense, so if it is a fear of bad things happening it is subconscious.
history: Hi. I've heard there are two parts to OCD, thoughts and actions, is this true? I'm not 100% sure on that. I do know that it is a disorder in which people feel like they must constantly check on things or perform certain rituals, or just have certain thoughts over and over. What are some examples of the thoughts or routines? Routines are often simple things like repetitive hand washing, counting things, and checking to see if a door is locked. Is there a component of people with OCD thinking bad things will happen if they stop.
knowledge: Most adults realize that the behaviors do not make sense.
