@drsharonbatista: Not every compulsion is something you can see. Some people spend hours reviewing a conversation, repeating a phrase until it feels right, or quietly analyzing whether they are a good person. From the outside, nothing seems to be happening, and that is one reason OCD goes unrecognized for so long. If this pattern sounds familiar, it's worth talking with a clinician who knows OCD.
