Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety caused by these thoughts. Obsessions often involve fears of contamination, harming others, or doubts, while compulsions may include excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or arranging items. Though individuals with OCD may recognize their thoughts or actions as irrational, they feel powerless to stop them, leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning.

The exact cause of OCD is unclear but involves genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. It affects people of all ages and genders. Treatment typically includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and sometimes medication like SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). With proper support and treatment, individuals with OCD can manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
