  1. And you think 2 percent is little? 2 out of 100, it may sound like a small percentage, but in fact, it is a lot... I have small problems with OCD, and in some professions, some occupations like in sports it is very common... Like tennis players touching their noses, goalkeepers have some complicated ways how they are "banishing" intrusive negative thoughts like they will not get a goal if they do that-and-that or say that-and-that and all of those people know it is totally illogical but compulsion is sometimes so strong that they can't resist. I have a friend who has some ideas of impending doom, and he has some "formulas", he calls them formulas, he should say something and do something in order for that thought not to become reality... It can vary from a nuisance to a very problematic disorder. Freud had such patients and his writings about one patient are classic, it is called "Rat-man" It sounds like the name of some weird superhero, but Freud named his essay about that poor person "rat-man".
