OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition marked by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). These behaviors can feel impossible to control and may interfere with daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being.

What is OCD?

OCD is more than just being neat or organized. It involves distressing thoughts and compulsive behaviors that the person feels driven to perform—often in an attempt to relieve anxiety or prevent something bad from happening.

Common Symptoms of OCD

People living with OCD may experience:

• Compulsive behaviors – Repetitive actions like excessive cleaning, checking, or counting

• Compulsive hoarding – Difficulty discarding items, even those with no value

• Impulsivity – Acting suddenly on urges without considering consequences

• Repetitive speech – Unintentional repetition of certain words or phrases

• Repetitive movements – Such as tapping, blinking, or other ritualistic behaviors

• Social isolation – Withdrawing from others due to shame or fear of judgment

These symptoms can vary in intensity, but they often cause significant distress or interfere with everyday functioning.

Effective OCD Treatment Options

OCD is treatable, and many individuals experience significant improvement with the right approach. Our therapeutic methods include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps challenge obsessive thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviors

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – A highly effective form of therapy that involves gradual exposure to feared situations while resisting the urge to perform rituals
