What We Treat

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is seen among people who have repeated and unwanted thoughts, feelings, ideas, or behaviors that cause anxiety. As a result, they feel driven to do something to lessen their anxiety (behaviors known as compulsions). People with OCD often understand that their behavior is unreasonable. They may try to get rid of their obsessive thoughts and behaviors with minimal to no success.

Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder may include one or more of the following:

• Excessive fear of germs, including repeated washing and cleaning

• Perfectionism, obsessive rituals, and constant checking and rechecking actions (like making sure the door is locked and lights are off)

• Distress about lack of order, organization, or symmetry

• Preoccupation with counting, magic numbers, specific colors, or sequences of movement and action

• Other obsessions or repeated behaviors that lead to severe anxiety or interfere with everyday life
