Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition marked by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions).
- Obsessions: These are intrusive and distressing thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety. Common examples include fears of contamination, harming others, or making mistakes.
- Compulsions: To relieve the anxiety caused by obsessions, individuals engage in repetitive actions or mental rituals. For instance, someone might wash their hands excessively or double-check locks and appliances.
OCD can be challenging and disruptive, but with the right support and treatment, including therapy and, in some cases, medication, individuals can manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.
