What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety.
Left untreated, OCD can interfere with daily life, but evidence-based therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) offer effective, lasting relief.
