Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is marked by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions) performed to ease anxiety. Left untreated, OCD can consume hours each day, strain relationships and sap energy.
At Nityanand Rehab Centre, serving Pune, Mumbai and patients nationwide, we offer specialist OCD care that blends gold-standard therapies, medication management and holistic support. Our team of psychiatrists, CBT/ERP therapists and mindfulness practitioners designs personalised plans to help you reclaim control and peace of mind.
OCD is an anxiety-related condition in which individuals feel trapped in a cycle of distressing thoughts and compulsive actions. Common presentations include:
| Obsession Theme | Typical Compulsion |
|---|---|
| Contamination – fear of germs or illness | Excessive hand-washing, cleaning |
| Checking – fear of harm or mistakes | Repeatedly checking locks, appliances |
| Symmetry/Order – need for exactness | Arranging items until “just right” |
| Forbidden/Intrusive Thoughts (religious, sexual, aggressive) | Mental rituals, seeking reassurance |
| Hoarding (may overlap with Hoarding Disorder) | Inability to discard possessions |
OCD affects people of all ages; early treatment reduces long-term impact.
We address OCD’s biological roots, cognitive patterns and lifestyle triggers in one integrated programme, helping you build lasting resilience and reduce relapse risk. Progress is measured not by perfection but by regaining time, calm and confidence.
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.
You deserve a life that isn’t dictated by obsessions or rituals. Nityanand Rehab Centre is ready to guide you with compassion and proven therapies.
