A few types of people are more likely to get OCD. Firstly, someone who has just lost a loved one may feel lost and anxious. To curb this feeling of anxiety, a person may develop an urge to perform several repetitive actions. Secondly, students like those in RGS, may have very high expectations of themselves and failing to perform up to these expectations may result in them developing OCD. In short, anyone with an existing stressor can develop OCD as a way of dealing with the setbacks.
