Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) ?
OCD is more than being particular about cleanliness—it’s a mental health condition involving persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions (compulsions) meant to ease anxiety. These cycles can interfere with daily life and relationships.
Obsessions often center on contamination fears, safety concerns, or causing harm. Common compulsions include excessive handwashing, checking locks repeatedly, or organizing until things feel “just right.” While these behaviors provide temporary relief, they quickly become exhausting.
OCD isn’t about being overly neat—it’s about seeking relief from distressing thoughts and uncertainty. With proper support, you can break free from these cycles and reclaim peace of mind.
