Against their will, obsession leads affected individuals to imagine a series of ominous consequences that they wish to avoid at any cost. Usually, obsession is accompanied by an urgent desire to take action. Indeed, just imagining that their thoughts could become reality forces affected individuals to take action to prevent the danger. The action thus taken is called a compulsion.

Three Important Points about Obsession
Obsession always includes an element of doubt. One
imagines a possibility; the thought takes the form of “this might happen. The
doubt is not based on any real information. Instead, it is caused by the
thought that danger is possible despite the evidence of one’s senses. The
thought is sometimes horrifying and concerns a danger or misfortune that could
possibly take place.
The thought that a dangerous situation may occur is
what causes the anxiety. If affected individuals were sure that this situation
would not happen at the moment of imagining it, they would not be so obsessed.
