Compulsions and OCD Spectrum Disorders There are a number of other disorders that, while not technically meeting the DSM diagnostic criteria for OCD, have very similar symptoms and fall within the so-called OCD spectrum. [ocd.about.com]
Even more of us find ourselves in the grip of a compulsion that falls short of something that is disabling enough to qualify as a mental disorder – in fact, some compulsions are adaptive, helping us lead our lives or perform our jobs more effectively. [theguardian.com]
The American Psychiatric Association and its changing guidelines over the decades — it really falls short of rigorous empirical science. [thecut.com]
OCD is recognised as an anxiety disorder, and because compulsive behaviour is linked to OCD, it falls under the same umbrella. [matthewtweediehypnosis.com.au]
Dyskeratosis congenita often causes the fingernails and toenails to grow poorly, fall off, and have ridges or a thin "spoon" shape. Skin abnormalities. [stanfordchildrens.org]

Additional clinical findings have been reported and may include: developmental delay, short stature, microcephaly, blepharitis, epiphora, periodontal disease, taurodontism, decreased teeth/root ratio, esophageal stenosis, urethral stenosis, osteoporosis [orpha.net]
Additional findings in patients with dyskeratosis congenita may include short stature, eye and tooth abnormalities, thin and early graying of the hair, lung (pulmonary) disease, liver disease, gut abnormalities, bone thinning (osteoporosis), infertility [rarediseases.org]
- Asymptomatic
Heterozygotes for a pathogenic variant in CTC1, NHP2, NOP10, PARN, or WRAP53 are predicted to be asymptomatic. Heterozygotes for a pathogenic variant in ACD, RTEL1, or TERT may or may not be affected (see Heterozygote Detection). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients with the mild form of dyskeratosis congenita may have no apparent symptoms (asymptomatic) into their 30s or 40s and often present only with one of the clinical features associated with dyskeratosis congenita such as bone marrow failure, pulmonary [rarediseases.org]
- Fever
Obsessive-compulsive behavior, OCD, and ADHD were more frequent in the Sydenham chorea group (19%, 23.2%, 30.4%) than in the healthy subjects (11%, 4%, 8%) and in the rheumatic fever without chorea group (14%, 6%, 8%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Discussion and conclusions In the diagnostic evaluation of this patient who presented with fever and pancytopenia, the initial differential diagnoses were DC or Fanconi anemia. [bmcmedgenet.biomedcentral.com]
Research has shown that children with rheumatic fever who develop Sydenham’s chorea are at higher risk of OCD, so early treatment with antibiotics may reduce the chances of future obsessive thinking. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

- Overeating
For example, re-reading the same passage in a book over and over. One might read a page, and then worry that a sentence was missed, so the person with OCD goes back and reads the page over and over, just to make sure nothing was overlooked. [ocdtypes.com]
These are behaviors that you feel you must carry out over and over, often for hours on end. For example, if you are obsessed with contamination, you might wash your hands over and over again. [ocd.about.com]
This study aimed to examine the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in improving patient control over compulsive behavior. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
