Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety caused by these thoughts. OCD can interfere with daily life and cause significant distress.

​

Key Symptoms:

• Obsessions: Repeated, intrusive thoughts, worries, or urges (e.g., fear of contamination, fear of harming others).

• Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental acts (e.g., washing hands repeatedly, checking things multiple times) performed to reduce anxiety or prevent a feared event.

• Difficulty controlling the urge to perform compulsions, even if they don’t make sense.

• Time-consuming rituals that interfere with daily activities and responsibilities.

​

Causes and Triggers:

OCD can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Family history, brain chemistry imbalances, and stressful life events may contribute to the development of OCD.
