Typically, those who experience strong compulsions to perform certain tasks or routines repeatedly with concerns about the perceived consequences of not doing so are associated with obsessive compulsive disorder, a mental health issue that can become debilitating for some people. This issue has traditionally been classified as relating to health concerns involving anxiety, but a review carried out at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill suggests that OCD may stem from purely biological causes. While the review is far from being conclusive, it notes that a combination of treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and cognitive behavioral therapy is most promising for modern recovery.
