obsessive-compulsive disorder
obsessive-compulsive disorder, (OCD) [DSM-IV] an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent obsessions or compulsions, which are severe enough to interfere significantly with personal or social functioning. Performing compulsive rituals may release tension temporarily, and resisting them causes increased tension. This disorder is not the same as obsessive-compulsive personality d., which is a personality disorder.

: See, this matter is very specific. We all know machine translation tools on the 'Net, but we don't use them. They produce mostly garbage. I'm sure everybody appreciates your willingness to help, but the people here sell professional, grade A translations.
