is ocd a disease?

[Daniel18]

i have to do a compare and contrast essay on whether or not OCD is a disease...

i just wanted to get some few ideas from anyone

i have ocd myself but im not sure if it is a disease or not....

-i know that people with ocd have a problem in their brain that is not sending the right message- but i just dont know if its a disease

any advice will be much helpful
thanks

The term "disorder" (as the name indicates) would be more appropriate to describe OCD, in my opinion. I don't think it fits into the category of a "disease". Just my take on it.
