Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform in response to these obsessions. These obsessions and compulsions can significantly interfere with daily activities and cause distress.
Some common obsessions include fears of contamination, a need for symmetry or order, aggressive or disturbing thoughts, and excessive doubts. Compulsions often manifest as repetitive behaviors such as hand washing, checking, counting, or mental rituals like praying or repeating words silently.
OCD can vary in severity, with some people experiencing mild symptoms that come and go, while others may have severe symptoms that significantly impact their daily functioning. Treatment for OCD typically involves a combination of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and HYPNOTHERAPY Treatment is to get permanent cure.
