Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform. These thoughts and behaviors can become distressing, time-consuming, and interfere with daily life.
OCD is not simply about being neat or organized — it’s a complex disorder that involves anxiety-driven cycles of intrusive thoughts and temporary relief through compulsive actions. At Wellness Whisper Psychiatry, we understand how exhausting this can be and provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you break free from repetitive patterns and regain peace of mind.
Symptoms of OCD?
Symptoms often vary in intensity but typically involve a cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
Intrusive, unwanted thoughts or fears (e.g., contamination, harm, or perfectionism).
Repetitive actions such as checking, cleaning, counting, or seeking reassurance to reduce anxiety.
Feelings of guilt, shame, or fear if rituals are not completed.
Difficulty focusing, maintaining relationships, or completing tasks due to overwhelming thoughts or behaviors.
