Why Do We Go Back and Make Sure The Door is Closed?

Many people turn to the apartment door and check it dozens of times before leaving, to make sure everything is fine.

Many people think after leaving the house: "Did you really close the door?" For some people this concern is a result of care and attention, but for others, it may be a disease, a so-called anxiety disorder, a condition of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

New research from the University of Concordia in Montreal, Canada, suggests that fear of losing control can lead to repeated examination of things: have you closed the door? Have you closed the gas bottle? Have you turned off the electricity? All this is due to obsessive-compulsive disorder, researchers said.

"We have shown that people who think they will lose control are more likely to be exposed to more dangerous behavior," said Adam Radomsky, co-author of the study.

Scientists hope the new findings will allow them to find better ways to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders.
