Anxiety and the Fear of Going Insane

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, can cause similar feelings of inability to control oneself, but the feeling manifests itself in a different manner. The way OCD works is that those who experience the obsessions and compulsions are often entirely capable of understanding that these feelings are irrational; however, they cannot overcome them due to the disorder. In this way, it is easy to feel as if you do not have control of yourself or maybe even are going "crazy," even when you aren't.
