Religious obsessive compulsive disorder is called scrupulosity (for anybody who doesn't already know that).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrupulosity
Mostly I read about scrupulosity in Christianity, but I have wondered if it might be a problem in other religions. For example, Islam requires Muslims to pray five times per day, and apparently the Quran regulates all kinds of behaviors such as sleeping, eating, washing, etc. Baha'i behavior is apparently heavily regulated just like Islam. I have heard that some forms of Judaism have prayers and hand washing ceremonies before every meal.
One big feature of scrupulosity seems to be feelings of guilt for having not done something properly (not prayed the Rosary properly, not confessed properly, etc.).
So I've wondered if there are certain religions that are worse than others for a person with OCD tendencies.
