Can you give a few examples of what you mean by "scrutinized behaviors"? I want to answer your question, but I need to understand it better first

i don’t know if overthinking is necessarily a symptom of ocd, but i think those of us who have ocd will have personalities that also tend towards anxiety and generally overthinking things. i know it’s that way for me, at least

Like I want to know the name of my disorder desperately so I search a lot my symptoms so that I can find out what I have ,and if someone prescribe any medication then I will research on that so that I can be assured that everything is ok or my diagnosis is correct and want medication to all my problem so that I don't have to force myself to do productive work , I want medication should do all the tasks for me ..

One more thing when I study I go into details like if I have to study one day prior to my exam still I will study it from different sources like Stanford YouTube video , my text book, others YouTube videos so that I don't miss any details , sounds like perfectionism..but it is driven by anxiety , I do this bcz I want to make sure that nothing misses so I study from different sources that's why I end up failing in exam bcz it is time consuming.

One last thing is if I want to bath then I will spend I lot of time just thinking "I need to bath , why I'm unable to do such simple tasks " then I search on google about how to be productive or I will post here my queries . I could simply do the task of bathing rather thinking and analysing it too much but still I will think n end up not bathing.

It sounds like gathering excessive information is a pattern in all these compulsions

How can you say gathering excessive information is a part of ocd ?

Well, when you have a doubt or question (obsession) you respond by gathering loads of information (compulsion) without ever making a decision or just taking action
