		<description><![CDATA[More About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder 
Six characteristics of OCD
1. Overestimation of Risk
2. Excessive feelings of responsibility
3. Controllability
4. Overimportance of thoughts
5. Intolerance of ambiguity
6. Perfectionism
People with bipolar disorder may share some of these characteristics. I certainly deal with 3, 4 and 5 regularly!
