Obsessive-compulsive disorder
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
The results of a brain malfunction which causes the sufferer to compulsively and self-destructively repeat routine actions like washing, dusting, tickling your ass several times a day, and replying to a troll who is baiting the obsessive-compulsives in a discussion group by answering all posts with misspelled non sequiturs printed in several colors and fonts.
OCD is a popular diagnosis when e-psychiatry is performed during a flame war, as it implies any opinion expressed by the diagnosed can be dismissed since it stems from his uncontrollable need to be a complete dick.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is the force that holds Wikis together (as well as many other parts of the internet).

[edit] As A Ploy For Attention
Much like Asperger's Syndrome, OCD is frequently self-diagnosed in attention whores. In modern filmography, certain character quirks are often accounted for by OCD (among other disorders), because the writers are usually too lazy to concoct an actual back story. You do not have OCD.
[edit] Actual Diagnosed Patients
hep is an actual diagnosed by an IRL psyche doctor person with OCD. It mostly manifests in routines and rituals possibly from being raised Catholic. It runs down directly down the matriarchal line of her family, even her youngest daughter already shows signs of it. In hep's case her OCD actually helps control her OCD but there are still difficulties to work through. Most OCD patients manifest symptoms in different ways depending on severity. Whereas for instance hep is not that badly affected, her mother is insane if not on extreme medication.
[edit] Useful OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder can sometimes be useful for completing tasks that others can't be bothered doing, such as Einsidler's obsession with fixing Double Re-directs. Most of these are caused by the holiday articles and their talk pages. The main articles now have a template but the talk pages are still at large until someone works out what to do with them.
