Hi lazystretch818-ga, That sounds like obsessive-compulsive disorder, also known as OCD. The thoughts are the obsessions and the urges are the compulsions. For more information, see, for example: http://www.aafp.org/afp/980401ap/eddy.html http://www.psychologyinfo.com/problems/ocd.html http://www.emedicine.com/med/byname/obsessive-compulsive-disorder.htm http://sulcus.berkeley.edu/mcb/165_001/papers/manuscripts/_22.html --efn |
