Understanding OCD
OCD is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform. These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.
However, it's important to remember that you are not alone - OCD affects millions of people worldwide, and effective treatments are available.
These obsessions can create a constant state of alertness and worry, making it difficult to focus on work, maintain relationships, or simply enjoy life. The compulsions, while momentarily relieving the anxiety, can take up signific amounts of time and energy, further impacting daily functioning and emotional well-being.
