Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

More commonly referred to as OCD, this mental health condition is characterised by obsessive and compulsive behaviours.

‍

Obsessive thoughts, urges or images enter the mind, causing unease and anxiety. A compulsion is a repetitive act that will help relieve these obsessive thoughts. And this can significantly interfere with daily routines and quality of life.

Conventional Treatments Options

There are a few ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of OCD. This can include:

Psychological therapies, especially CBT with exposure and response prevention
Medication, such as SSRIs
Finding a good support network

Although some people may find relief with a combination of the above, for others it simply isn’t enough.
