Obsessive Compulsive Disorder involves persistent, unwanted thoughts known as obsessions, which lead to repetitive behaviours or mental rituals called compulsions. These patterns can create significant distress and interfere with daily functioning.
Who It Affects
OCD can affect adolescents and adults. It may involve fears related to contamination, harm, symmetry, doubt, or intrusive thoughts that feel difficult to control.
Common Signs
intrusive, repetitive thoughts
excessive checking or reassurance seeking
repeated washing or cleaning rituals
need for symmetry or order
difficulty tolerating uncertainty
mental rituals such as counting or repeating phrases
When to Seek Support
If obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviours consume time, increase anxiety, or interfere with work, studies, or relationships, therapy can provide structured support.
How Therapy Helps
Therapy focuses on reducing compulsive behaviours, increasing tolerance for uncertainty, and helping individuals respond differently to intrusive thoughts. Over time, distress reduces and daily functioning improves.
