agathist
n.
1816, from Greek agathos "good" (see Agatha ) + -ist.

Doctor Kearney, who formerly, with so much reputation, delivered lectures in this place on the history of Rome, observed to me once, that he was not an optimist, but an "agathist"; that he believed that every thing tended to good, but did not think himself competent to determine what was absolutely the best. The distinction is important, and seems to be fatal to the system of Optimism. [George Miller, "Lectures on the Philosophy of Modern History," Dublin, 1816]

"..obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD is a disorder where patients have obsessions and compulsions. And obsessions are intrusive thoughts, images or urges that they find very distressing and are very repetitive. And compulsions are behavioral acts or mental acts, things they do in their head over and over again to try to reduce the distress that obsessions cause or to follow specific rules."
