A compulsion, or compulsive behavior, is defined as performing an action persistently and repetitively without necessarily leading to an actual reward or pleasure. These behaviors are often performed in an attempt to make obsessions go away or to reduce anxiety and apprehension caused by internal feelings. Compulsive behavior is a major symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other related psychological conditions.
