obsessive-compulsive disorder
Also known as OCD,
obsessive-compulsive disorder is a
neurotic mental illness in which
intrusive, negative thoughts and/or impulses which regularly enter the person's mind (obsessions) are counteracted by repetitive acts or rituals performed to alleviate the anxiety and general distress created by these obsessions. It is possible to qualify for a diagnosis of OCD if only obsessions or compulsions are present, although the vast majority have both.

An
anxiety disorder in which uncontrollable
intrusive thoughts and mental/physical compulsions make sufferers miserable. These intrusive thoughts can include violent and
taboo obsessions that make the sufferer question their identity.
It's a painful, torturous disorder I'd wish on nobody.

Is a fairly common problem where people experience ‘obsessions’, recurring
unwanted thoughts which are difficult to stop, and ‘compulsions’,
rituals of checking behaviour or repetitive actions which are carried out in an attempt to
relieve the thoughts.
Example:
Jocelyn has obsessive compulsive disorder, and
checks the door 16 times to make sure it is
locked.

Obsessive Compulsive Reloading Disorder

Common to many gamers,
OCRD is the obsessive compulsive
reloading of weapons in
FPSs in order to maintain a
full clip at any given time.
Generally this presents as reloading before and after every encounter in a game even if only 1 or 2 shots were fired and the clip has 60 rounds. A gamer with the disorder will experience the distracting need to reload if they know their clip isn't full, similar to an itch or a nervous tic of other OCDs.
In its worse presentations, OCRD will leave a player absent-mindedly reloading before the action has finished, perhaps after killing one or a few enemies while more are still shooting at the player. This leaves the player useless and vulnerable for upwards of
5 to 10 seconds.
Example:
Gamer's friend: "Why are you so shit now? You used to be awesome at CoD."
Gamer: "Ah man. I have
OCRD (Obsessive Compulsive Reloading Disorder) bad! I keep having to
reload needlessly in the middle of action and getting raped because of it. It's ruining everything and I just can't stop myself."
Gamer's friend: "Oh yea man, we've all had that. Sucks to be you, I guess."

Obsessive Compulsive Digital Disorder
by Hazel R. Felix on Feb 12, 2010 03:54:42
A web-based disorder in which the patient is beset with the need to comment continuously on another's Facebook wall. Their dedicated
doting is not done out of affection but out of an extreme insecurity. These positive comments are the
web2.0 equivalent of pissing on a tree to mark territory. Attempts to delete these pheromone-infused comments will only accelerate their onslaught until you're
inundated with notifications from being tagged in photos you aren't in, and your statuses being "liked" regardless of their content.
Example:
At first
my boyfriend's “Can’t wait to see you!” and “Happy half-groundhog’s day!” facebook wall comments were cute, but after about
the 16th “Looks like you had fun!” I realized that he was just suffering Obsessive Compulsive Digital Disorder and
unfriended his insecure ass.
