OCD

Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than habits or quirks. It involves persistent, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) that can take over daily life. OCD is challenging, but it is treatable.


What OCD Feels Like

People with OCD often describe:

  • Repetitive, intrusive thoughts that feel uncontrollable

  • Compulsions such as checking, counting, or cleaning

  • Anxiety or distress if rituals aren’t performed

  • Time lost to routines that interfere with work, school, or relationships

  • Feeling trapped in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions


OCD is not a personality trait—it’s a medical condition that deserves care.

Why Treatment Matters

Untreated OCD can grow more severe and consume more of your time and energy. With treatment, many people reduce symptoms, regain control, and live more freely.
