Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by the outbreak of intrusive thoughts occurring against the will of the subject. These thoughts are associated with rituals in order for the patient to be able to reduce his anxiety.
The subject feels compelled to follow a repetitive behaviour or a mental act with strict rules. These flashes of madness, which overwhelm the subject’s reason make him switch instantly from self control to machine-like automatism.
These rituals are series of gestures recognised as irrational, but nevertheless repeated in an invasive way, like a personal mysticism.
