[quote=Anonymous][b]While yes these can be typical markers of anxiety what none of us know is the motivation behind OPs friends actions and this is what would distinguish regular anxiety from OCD. OP mentions checking the alarm several times. If her friend has to do this a certain number of times, or a certain way before she leaves b/c she fears that something horrible will happen to her family, this is OCD. The performing of a rituals to ward of bad things (even when you know it is ridiculous) is OCD. We don't know why this woman is doing these things and this is key. [/b] No one said anything about fears that something will happen to her family,and that the checking is ritutal-based. This is how people become armchair diagnosticians. [/quote]
