(Obsessive behaviour, Compulsive behaviour, Repetitive behaviour, Ritualistic behaviour, Habitual behaviour, Stereotyped behaviour, Persistent behaviour, Involuntary behaviour, Automatic behaviour)

Ritual actions are repetitive behaviours that a person performs in a certain order, usually with the same movements and words. These actions can range from simple hand-washing to complex religious ceremonies. They often develop in response to anxiety, distress, or a need for control, and can interfere with everyday life. Ritual actions can manifest as obsessive-compulsive disorder, tics, or superstitious behaviour.
