Recognizing OCD
OCD can appear in many forms. Common symptoms include:
- Intrusive thoughts that cause distress
- Repetitive behaviors or rituals aimed at reducing anxiety
- Avoidance of certain situations due to fear of triggering obsessions
- Excessive checking, cleaning, or organizing
From the outside, OCD may look like repeated handwashing, constant checking of locks or appliances, arranging items meticulously, or spending excessive time on routines. While these behaviors may seem unusual or unnecessary, know that they are driven by intense anxiety and a compulsion to prevent perceived harm.
The Starting Point: Therapy for OCD
Our anxiety therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help patients confront obsessions, reduce compulsive behaviors, and regain control over their lives. Therapy is tailored to the needs of each patient, ensuring a supportive, personalized approach.
Psychiatry and Medication Management for OCD
For some patients, medication management is an essential component of OCD treatment. After assessing your history and symptoms, your psychiatrist may recommend a medication regimen to reduce the intensity of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Regular follow-ups allow our team to monitor your progress.
