Understanding OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental condition characterised by unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that trigger anxiety. To manage this anxiety, individuals engage in repetitive behaviours (compulsions). These persistent thoughts and behaviours can be time-consuming and significantly impact daily life. It's important to note that OCD affects approximately 4% of the general population, highlighting the need for greater understanding and effective treatment approaches.
What OCD Looks Like
People with OCD may experience the following:
- Excessive worry about germs or cleanliness leads to frequent handwashing.
- Repetitive checking of things like doors or appliances.
- Intrusive thoughts that are difficult to stop, even though they seem nonsensical.
- A strong need for order and symmetry, often accompanied by constant arranging and organising.
