OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). The compulsions are performed in an attempt to alleviate anxiety caused by the obsessions, but they often provide only temporary relief and can interfere with daily life activities.
Symptoms of OCD can vary, but common obsessions include concerns about contamination, a need for order and symmetry, and intrusive, distressing thoughts. Compulsions may include excessive cleaning and hand-washing, repeated checking, counting, or organizing, and mental rituals.
OCD can have a significant impact on quality of life, but it is treatable. Effective treatments for OCD include a combination of psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP), and medication. If you or a loved one is struggling with OCD, it is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional to receive a proper diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
