Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is quite common and involves unwanted recurring thoughts and behaviors.

Oh, the illusionary and all too persuasive frequency of worry. I know this one well. I remember walking into the living room when I was eight years old and the news was on. The news channel was reporting on global warming. Here I was 8 years old, born onto a planet that was going to cook itself into a slow and painful death?! I was horrified.
