Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD involves having obsessive thinking patterns that can include unwanted thoughts, images or urges that make a person feel anxious, distressed or panicked.
Do you feel like you're constantly battling intrusive thoughts that you can’t control? Do certain thoughts or actions keep you from living the life you want with your family or friends? Are you worried that you will lose control of your own behaviors?
Dealing with OCD involves more than just facing a few unwanted thoughts or compulsive behaviors; it's about learning to cope with distressing patterns that affect your daily life. With OCD therapy, you’ll learn how to tolerate the discomfort of your distressing thoughts or behaviors, which will in turn make them have less power in your life.
Individuals who have OCD often have significant difficulty pushing away or ignoring these thoughts. Those with OCD also have compulsive behaviors which are an attempt to reverse the obsessive thoughts or urges by performing some sort of reaction.
Common signs of OCD are:
Intrusive thoughts
Constant checking or counting
The repeated cleaning of one or more items
Fear of contamination
Hoarding
Thoughts that you might be harmed
Thoughts that you might cause others harm
