Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
The Cycle of Obsessions and Compulsions
OCD is a chronic mental health condition characterized by recurring intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety. Without treatment, these patterns can take over daily life, making it difficult to function at work, in relationships, or in social settings.
Recognizing the Signs of OCD:
Intrusive Thoughts: Unwanted, distressing thoughts or fears that cause anxiety.
Compulsive Behaviors: Repetitive actions performed to ease obsessive thoughts (e.g., excessive handwashing, checking, counting, or arranging items in a specific way).
Fear of Harm or Contamination: Intense anxiety over germs, illness, or potential dangers.
Ritualistic Behaviors: Needing to perform certain actions in a precise manner to feel safe.
Difficulty Controlling Thoughts or Behaviors: Feeling trapped in obsessive patterns that interfere with daily life.
Avoidance Behaviors: Steering clear of situations that might trigger obsessive thoughts or compulsive actions.
OCD is a highly treatable condition with professional intervention. At Entrust Recovery Center, we offer specialized therapies to help individuals regain control and improve their quality of life.
