OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, excessive worry, compulsive behaviors, and a constant need for certainty or control.

OCD
Joanna Szczeskiewicz
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) is characterized by presence of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are the unwanted intrusive thoughts and images that can include unwarranted concerns about a loved one dying in their sleep, disturbing vivid images of stabbing a person standing nearby, or worrying about having grabbed a used needle and injecting oneself with drugs without even being aware of having done so. Obsessions are all about uncertainty. Compulsions represent attempts at dealing with that uncertainty. Some compulsive behaviours appear to make at least some sense (e.g., being vigilant about wellbeing of others), while others don’t make any sense at all (e.g., counting to 100 each time a thought of potential harm comes to person’s mind). Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) protocol for OCD starts with building an inventory of obsessions and compulsions that the affected person engages in. This is followed by cognitive interventions that seek to understand and challenge the beliefs that underpin these symptoms. Many persons with OCD recognize the irrational nature of their thoughts and behaviours. So we use exposure response prevention (ERP) techniques that teach at a very visceral level that despite undeniable initial discomfort, letting go of one’s rituals does not lead to danger. It might not be the most comfortable treatment but, given its proven effectiveness, it’s worth the effort.

Satvinder Khurme
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Every one of us has habits, but when some habit becomes disruptive and effects an individual’s smooth functioning in day-to-day life that can be challenging and if not treated at an early stage it can become a mental illness.

OCD
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. OCD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with OCD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.

Mississauga is one of Canada's largest cities and a major commercial hub anchored by multinational corporate headquarters along its City Centre corridor, creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and the pressures of corporate culture. The city is exceptionally diverse — with large South Asian, Caribbean, and East Asian populations among the most multicultural in Canada — and multilingual therapists offering culturally grounded care are especially well represented. Trillium Health Partners Credit Valley Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private practice community serving Cooksville, Port Credit, and Erin Mills. Many Mississauga residents also access therapy in Toronto or through telehealth, given the city's proximity to the Greater Toronto Area's broader therapy ecosystem.
