Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is characterized by:
- Obsessions: intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges
- Compulsions: repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce anxiety
Common OCD themes include:
- Contamination fears
- Harm or safety fears
- Religious or moral scrupulosity
- Relationship OCD (ROCD)
- Symmetry and ordering
- Intrusive sexual or violent thoughts
OCD is not simply about being neat or organized. It is a cycle of anxiety and ritual behavior that can interfere with daily functioning.
