FAQs

OCD is a mental health disorder characterised by obsessions (persistent thoughts or urges) and compulsions (repetitive behaviours or mental acts) that interfere with daily life.

Symptoms include recurring obsessive thoughts (e.g., fear of contamination) and compulsive behaviours (e.g., washing, checking) to reduce anxiety caused by those thoughts.

OCD is treated with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and medication like SSRIs.

While OCD may not be "cured," it can be effectively managed with therapy and medication, allowing individuals to live fulfilling lives.

OCD may be triggered by genetics, brain chemistry, or environmental factors, including traumatic experiences or stress.
