If OCD is not an anxiety disorder, why does it happen? What are the meanings of the symptoms? What function do they have if not to control anxiety? If they are successful at limiting anxiety, then you may not be conscious of anxiety -- until the control fails...
What happens if you try to stop the obsessive actions?
