OCD Treatment

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a specific anxiety disorder that is marked by a cycle of unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors. Intrusive thoughts, images, or urges create intense anxiety, and compulsions—such as checking, counting, or cleaning—are attempts to reduce that anxiety.
Many people use the term “OCD” casually to describe a preference for neatness or routine, but true obsessive-compulsive disorder is much more complex.
Everyone has worries or routines, but OCD is different. The thoughts and behaviors keep coming back, cause distress, don’t match real-life situations, and get in the way of daily life.
OCD affects millions of people and often disrupts relationships, work, school, and overall quality of life. It creates a cycle where intrusive thoughts trigger intense anxiety, and compulsive behaviors provide only temporary relief. Over time, the cycle becomes deeply trapping, making it difficult to stay present in daily life, connect with others, or focus on the activities that matter most.
What Are the Symptoms of OCD?
It is natural to have the occasional unwanted thought or to prefer order and routine. What separates OCD from everyday worries is the persistence and intensity of these thoughts and behaviors, and the sense that they are outside of your control.
Common OCD Symptoms:
- Intrusive, unwanted thoughts or mental images that cause distress
- Repetitive behaviors such as cleaning, checking, or counting
- Strong urges to perform rituals to reduce anxiety or prevent harm
- Intense fear of contamination, germs, or illness
- Excessive doubt or fear of making mistakes
- Avoiding situations that might trigger obsessive thoughts
- Spending significant time each day on compulsions, interfering with normal activities
Not everyone with OCD experiences the same symptoms. For some, the struggle is mainly intrusive thoughts; for others, it is repetitive behaviors or compulsive rituals. In many cases, both are present, creating a cycle that can be exhausting and difficult to break.
