1. What characterizes Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

• A. Uncontrollable impulse to perform an act or ritual repeatedly
• B. Persistent thoughts and behavior
• C. Recurring unwanted and disturbing thoughts
• D. Pathological persistence of unwilled thoughts

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by the uncontrollable impulse to perform an act or ritual repeatedly (Choice A). This is driven by recurring unwanted and disturbing thoughts (Choice C), but the distinguishing factor is the compulsive behavior, making choice A the most accurate. While choice B can be seen as true, it lacks the specific detail of the compulsive behavior that makes A a better answer. Choice D is not incorrect, but it uses terminology that is less precise and less commonly used to describe OCD, making it a less accurate choice than A. The provided rationale is not relevant to the question.
