Does OCD Person Have A Habit Of Disturbing Others At Odd Hours?

I have a neighbor that has OCD. He is obsessed with moving around furniture at very late times, like 12-2 am. in the morning. We all live in a very small apt building and his neighbor downstairs has to put up with him literally slamming the furniture around!! The walls are very thin in this building. Does OCD have a side effect that gives him the "out" for SLAMMING stuff around at ungodly hours and disturbing other people??

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

OCD is a chronic illness and in OCD it is very difficult for patient to control there obsession. When ever they try to control these obsessive thoughts, they feel anxiety symptoms. U decrease anxiety, they have to follow their thoughts. Sometime even on treatment it is difficult for them to control symptoms. It is not his fault. What he is doing , is because of his illness. Try to cooperate with him

Thanks
