People affected have little or no control over their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, which tend to be time consuming and interfere with work,  school or social life to the point of causing  significant distress.
Ljudi s OKP imaju malo ili nikakvu kontrolu nad svojim opsesivnim mislima i kompulzivnim ponašanjem, koje može uzeti puno vremena i ometati posao, školu ili društveni život do te mjere da uzrokuje veliki nemir.
