Check a Symptom
Anxiety
Some people have intrusive thoughts that make them anxious or they feel compelled to do certain things (like checking if the doors are locked) in order to ward off anxiety.
Do you have repetitive intrusive thoughts you can't get rid of that make you anxious (obsessions) along with feelings of being compelled to do things to reduce your anxiety (compulsions)?
Yes, I do have obsessions and/or compulsions.
No, I do not have obsessions or compulsions.
