What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

  • OCD is a thought process, cognitive, and perception issue.
  • Obsessional thoughts are illogical and irrational beliefs that the individual recognizes as untrue but struggles to break free from.
  • OCD sufferers experience complex and rigid obsessional thoughts that cause anxiety.
  • To alleviate anxiety, individuals engage in certain compulsions, providing temporary relief.
  • However, the obsessional thoughts and anxiety return, leading to a repetitive cycle of compulsions.
  • The frequency of performing these compulsions varies based on the severity of OCD & the complexity of individual thoughts.
  • Performing routines or acting repeatedly due to uncontrollable thoughts.
  • The obsessions often lead to compulsions (repetitive behaviors).
  • While some may experience only obsessions, most sufferers have both obsessions and compulsions.
  • Individuals with OCD find it challenging to control these thoughts and behaviors for an extended period.
