Psychiatric Care for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD involves more than visible rituals. It’s often marked by intense internal distress, intrusive thoughts, and behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety. These symptoms can quietly consume hours each day.
Common OCD Themes
- Contamination fears and excessive washing
- Repetitive checking or arranging
- Intrusive thoughts (e.g., harm, sexuality, morality)
- Mental rituals or reassurance seeking
- Fear of losing control
Treatment Tailored to OCD
- SSRIs and other medications at therapeutic doses to reduce symptom intensity
- Structured strategies for managing compulsions and distress
- Clarification and diagnosis for individuals unsure whether their thoughts are OCD-related
- Ongoing, respectful care in a private setting
If intrusive thoughts or rituals are taking over your life, effective treatment is available—and recovery is possible.
