Would you consider OCD to be an abnormal behavior?
Answered by Elena
What may ultimately make an abnormal behavior into a genuine mental disorder is if the behavior:
1. is maladaptive (harmful to self or others)
2. causes significant social impairment
3. causes significant occupational impairment
4. causes great personal pain and emotional discomfort
5. involves a psychotic loss of contact with reality
(or to varying degrees, any combination of these five factors)
