Identifying and Coping with OCD
What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges known as obsessions, along with repetitive behaviors or mental rituals called compulsions.
Obsessions often trigger significant anxiety or distress. Compulsions are performed in an attempt to reduce this discomfort or prevent a feared outcome. While compulsions may provide temporary relief, they reinforce the cycle of OCD, making symptoms more persistent over time.
