Being too harsh on yourself could lead to OCD

People who report intense feelings of responsibility are prone to develop Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), warn researchers. Anxiety and OCD-like behaviour, such as checking if the door is locked, is common in the general population. However, it is the frequency and intensity of these behaviours or feelings that mark the difference between a character trait and a disorder. "People with OCD (are) tortured by repeatedly occurring negative thinking and they take some strategy to prevent it... GAD is a very pervasive type of anxiety. (Patients) worry about everything," said study co-author Yoshinori Sugiura, Associate Professor at the University of Hiroshima in Japan.
