Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Therapy designed to nurture young minds through life’s challenges.

Obsessive compulsive disorder is characterized by recurrent , irrational, unwanted, uncontrollable, and seemingly bizarre thoughts, impulses, images, or doubts that induce severe distress and or by repetitive behavioural or mental rituals performed to reduce the distress.

  • Obsessional fears tend to be about issues related to uncertainty about personal safety or the safety of others.
  • Compulsions are deliberately performed to reduce this uncertainty.
  • OCD is a pervasive and prolonged suffering. Its course remains episodic and recurrent. So the question of how long to continue pharmacological management remains unanswered.
  • So, the question of beyond drugs is imminent.

  • So, learn to live with the thought rather than suffer with a thought
