What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
OCD is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety caused by those thoughts. While many people experience occasional intrusive thoughts, individuals with OCD feel compelled to act on these thoughts in ways that disrupt their daily lives and emotional well-being.
OCD can affect different people from all walks of life, and while it’s often misunderstood, it is very treatable with the right support and approach. Transformation Health Services is here to offer different OCD treatment options.
Common Symptoms of OCD
OCD presents in different ways depending on the individual, but here are some of the most common signs and symptoms:
- Repetitive behaviors like handwashing, checking, or counting
- Persistent fears of contamination, harm, or making mistakes
- Intrusive thoughts that are violent, sexual, or blasphemous
- Mental rituals such as silent praying or repeating phrases
- Avoidance of places, people, or situations that might trigger obsessions
- Excessive need for reassurance or certainty
Types of OCD
OCD can take on several different forms. While not an exhaustive list, here are a few of the most recognized subtypes:
Contamination OCD
Fear of germs, illness, or dirt
Checking OCD
Repeatedly checking things (locks, appliances, etc.) for fear of harm
Symmetry & Ordering OCD
Needing things to feel “just right” or in perfect order
Intrusive Thoughts OCD
Unwanted, taboo thoughts that cause guilt or anxiety
Hoarding OCD
Difficulty discarding items due to fear of loss or needing them later
Pure O (Primarily Obsessional OCD)
Mental rituals with less visible compulsions
Understanding the type of OCD you may be experiencing is a key part of developing an effective treatment plan.
