This excellent website is chok-full of information on obsessive compulsive disorder. They define OCD by saying it "is a neurobiological disorder defined by recurrent, unwelcome thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behavior (compulsions) that OCD sufferers feel driven to perform.  People with OCD know their obsessions and compulsions are irrational or excessive, yet they have little or not control over them."
