Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common mental health disorder that makes people exhibit repetitive behaviors in their day-to-day lives. Such behavioral pattern may include repeatedly checking on things or cleaning them, washing hands, or anything driven by recurring, unwanted thoughts or sensations. Women, as statistics suggest, are more vulnerable to OCD than men in adulthood.
The characteristic traits of a person with OCD include:

  • Uncontrollable urge to spend long time every day in addressing certain thoughts or behaviors
  • Not experiencing any pleasure out of these behaviors, but doing to seek momentary relief from anxious and overwhelming thoughts
  • Experiencing poor quality of life and significant problems in their day-to-day lives due to these thoughts or behaviors

Research studies suggest that psychotherapies, including CBT, RFBT, ERP and other such habit reversal training interventions can prove as effective as medication in relieving OCD symptoms.
