      A doodle on a white background shows the OCD cycle. The first part of the cycle is titled ‘Obsession’ and arrows coming from that say ‘memories, urges, impulses, images, ideas, sensations’. The next part of the cycle says ‘Meaning Attached’, then ‘Distress’, then ‘Compulsion’ with arrows coming from that stating a variety of compulsions ‘Overt behaviour, Mental rituals, reassurance seeking and avoidance’. The next part of the cycle says ‘Relief’ but soon followed by ‘Negative Reinforcement’ with an arrow showing that the compulsions feed back into the Obsessions, continuing the cycle.
