Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is defined by obsessing over unwanted thoughts or fears that cause you to compulsively engage in repetitive behaviors. The more you try to avoid these behaviors the more this drives the OCD. And, the more difficult it becomes to stop. For many, the urge to perform certain ritualistic behaviors is impossible to overcome. In these cases, the only way to find relief is to engage in the behavior over and over again. OCD is often centered around particular themes. These include fear of contamination by germs, repeatedly checking to see if a door is locked, or needing to have objects arranged in a particular manner.

Regardless of the exact nature of the OCD it can be very embarrassing and at times completely debilitating. There are numerous treatments available. But, no single treatment is right for everyone.
