Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Break free from the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not about being "neat" or "a perfectionist" — it’s a mental health condition marked by unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) used to relieve anxiety.
It’s not quirky. It’s not a choice. And it’s absolutely treatable.
❤️ You Are Not Your Thoughts
OCD can feel isolating, confusing, and terrifying. You might wonder if you’re "crazy" or a danger — but the truth is, if you’re scared of your thoughts, that tells us a lot: you care deeply. You’re not alone, and you’re not beyond help.
OCD Can Sound Like:
-
“What if I hurt someone — or myself — on accident?”
-
“Did I lock the door? What if I didn’t? I should check again...”
-
“What if I’m a bad person?”
-
“That thought felt wrong. I need to undo it.”
-
“I can’t stop replaying this image in my head.”
-
“If I don’t do this ritual, something terrible might happen.”
OCD creates intense anxiety and urges you to do or think something to make the discomfort stop — but relief is always temporary. The cycle continues… until you learn how to break it.
Types of OCD We Treat
OCD can fixate on any theme. Common subtypes include:
-
Contamination OCD (germs, illness, cleaning rituals)

Checking OCD (doors, appliances, memory, harm prevention)

Harm OCD (fear of hurting others or oneself)
-
Scrupulosity (moral or religious obsession with being “good” or “pure”)
-
Sexual or intrusive taboo thoughts
-
Relationship OCD (ROCD) (doubting your partner or love for them)
-
Perinatal/postpartum OCD (fear of harming baby, intrusive thoughts, guilt)
