Answers:
Only if it causes you distress and interfers with daily life. I have habits and rituals that seem like mild ocd but are not as they don't cause me problems (apart from the fact that it takes me wice as long to peg out the washing to give me time to colour code in symmetry the pegs). If you are worried talk to your doctor.
If it doesn't effect your quality of life, then no. However if you have/will have a significant other it may be hard to explain but livable although possibly embarrassing.
It depends on the person. I have it to an extensive degree but only germ wise. It's disturbing and everyone kind of thinks it's funny but my husband in the bedroom .
If it's mild, you can control it with meds. I found mine was MUCH better with Zoloft. I wasn't nearly as anal but still had some but more tolerable habits.
Yes, definitely!
