If we were all entirely rational all of the time religion, superstition, notions of luck, good or bad fortune and even hope would not exist. The reality is that it is almost impossible for the human psyche to continue without concepts like praying, helping it to persevere and making bleak rational events tolerable in times of crisis. It is the magnifying of this type of cause and affect that creates the OCD sufferer.
A common example of OCD is someone who feels they have to continually wash their hands for an irrational reason or perform a ritual before they can leave or enter their house. Those who suffer often describe themselves as being caught in a loop that they can't break out of. The cause of OCD is a medical disorder, a disfunction in the brain, and was pretty much untreatable before modern medications and cognitive behavior therapy.
Today most sufferers can be successfully treated at least to some degree.
