What Causes Repetition Of Same Words In Mind?

I have a weird mental condition ....I am constantly typing repetitive words in my head....while watching films, tv or just about all the time. Most of the words that go thru my head have been the same words for many, many years. It is almost an obsession. Is there a name for this condition?

If yes then you substitute these thoughts with other thoughts impulse or image?

if yes then you are suffering from OCD.
