Answer:
The idea that they will look back and have forgotten details (which is actually an inevitable part of life) gives them a lot of anxiety. Memory hoarding is a mental ritual in OCD in which the sufferer over-attends to memories with the belief that these memories will be needed in the future.

Hey Friend!
Here's your answer:
No, forgetting is not typically considered a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors or compulsions that are intended to reduce anxiety or prevent harm. Forgetting may be a separate issue related to memory or attention, but it is not directly linked to OCD.
Hope that helped you!
