Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by unwanted and persistent thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) like excessive cleaning, counting, or checking. The exact causes are unknown but likely involve brain dysfunction and genetic factors. Symptoms include obsessions over germs, dirt or causing harm as well as compulsions like hand washing, cleaning, or counting. OCD is diagnosed by a mental health professional through evaluation and cannot be diagnosed through medical tests. Treatment involves therapy with a mental health professional and sometimes medication.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder where people experience uncontrollable and reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) that lead them to perform repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Common obsessions include fears of contamination or harm, while common compulsions include excessive cleaning, ordering, or checking. OCD affects people of all ages and can be treated with medication like antidepressants or psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by unwanted and repeated thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) performed to temporarily relieve anxiety. Common obsessions include fears of contamination or acting improperly, while compulsions include excessive washing or repeating phrases. OCD is often treated using medication like SSRIs and cognitive behavioral therapy, which exposes patients to anxiety-inducing situations to resist compulsions. Long-term, OCD is a chronic condition with periods of severe symptoms and improvement, though complete remission is rare.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed in response to these thoughts. The obsessions or compulsions significantly interfere with daily life. OCD has been linked to imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine in the brain, as well as genetic and environmental factors. Treatment involves psychotherapy like cognitive behavioral therapy and medication like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Other potential treatments under research include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroconvulsive therapy, but more studies are still needed to establish their efficacy for OCD.
