OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorders) symptoms have a particular theme, like obsession, symptoms involve fear of getting dirty or contaminated, keeping things orderly symmetrical, unpleasant thoughts, thoughts about harming oneself, thoughts pertaining to sexual or religious subjects. It is common to get these thoughts especially when you are trying to think of, or do other things.
Compulsion symptoms evolve around orderliness, having a strict routine, cleanliness, counting, and checking and re-checking things repeatedly.
OBSESSION SYMPTOMS:
OCD has obsession symptoms which are unwanted urges that may be repetitive and persistent. Generally, people try to get rid of them by following a compulsion which they create for themselves.

- Unpleasant sexual images repeating in your mind.
- Thoughts of shouting obscenities or inappropriate behavior.

COMPULSION SYMPTOMS:
Compulsion symptoms comprise of repetitive behaviors that you feel are important to perform. People tend to indulge in such behavior as they think it will relieve their anxiety over obsessions or will prevent something bad from happening. But at the end of it, this only gives a temporary relief as these compulsions are rationally not connected in preventing the feared events.
