Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that can cause distressing and intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses (obsessions) leading to significant anxiety. Often, individuals with OCD feel compelled to perform repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) in an attempt to alleviate their anxiety. This can be time-consuming and interfere with daily functioning. Fortunately, OCD can be effectively managed with the help of cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention therapy, and medication. By seeking proper treatment, individuals with OCD can learn to manage their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life.
