Answers:
You can go to a psychologist, but I tend to agree with the previous answer!. If it's not interfering with your life, then I wouldn't worry about it!. Sometimes, a little OCD is a good thing!. For instance, I have a couple friends who are doctors (one a surgeon) that have mild OCD!. It works for them, so they have chosen not to be treated for it!. After all, it keeps them from leaving sponges in people or missing steps along the way!. They are very rigid and repetitive in their procedures, thank goodness!.

So, if you can, make it work for you!. If you can't and it's messing up your life, see a psychologist or psychiatrist for diagnosis!. It may be that medication and/or counseling is all that you'll need to feel like a new person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I think everyone has things that just bother them or feel off!. Unless it really affects your life and I mean really affects, not just purposely trying to make it affect your life, you probably shouldn't get checked for OCD!.
