Details
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by unwanted intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety.
Even when a person knows their thoughts or actions are irrational, they find it nearly impossible to stop. It can appear in many forms, including checking, washing, organizing, and counting.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is the most effective treatment. Combining it with medication can lead to significant improvement. — Mindy
