Helping patients manage intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors
Descriptions
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition marked by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety. These cycles can disrupt daily life, relationships, and routines, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
While OCD can be challenging, it is highly treatable. Therapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral approaches, and sometimes medication can help individuals regain control and reduce the impact of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. With support and the right tools, those living with OCD can find relief and lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.
