Treating Addiction
OCD is a chronic condition marked by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety. Our expert team helps clients break free from the OCD cycle, regain control, and build a healthier, more balanced life.
What Is It?
OCD includes persistent obsessions (thoughts, urges, images) such as contamination fears, fears of harm, or taboo thoughts, and compulsions like washing, checking, counting, or mental rituals. These patterns can become time-consuming and distressing, significantly interfering with work, relationships, and daily activities.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms include excessive handwashing, repeated checking of locks or appliances, counting or tapping rituals, need for symmetry, intrusive violent or sexual thoughts, compulsive reassurance seeking, avoidance of certain places or activities, and overwhelming anxiety when unable to perform rituals.
