Abstract: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a disorder that entails repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that are uncontrollable. It involves interruptions and impairments in cognitive functions and severe distresses. This paper finds the positive association between OCD and the probability of making judgment errors in financial decisions.
