Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, is a mental health condition that involves recurring intrusive thoughts, urges, or images known as obsessions, along with repetitive behaviors or mental rituals known as compulsions.
At StarMaris Advanced Psychiatry Care, we take time to understand your symptoms, triggers, daily routines, mental health history, and how OCD may be affecting your everyday functioning before recommending an individualized treatment plan.
Unwanted thoughts, images, or fears that repeatedly enter your mind.
Frequently checking locks, appliances, messages, or other things for reassurance.
Strong fears about germs, contamination, or illness that may lead to repeated cleaning.
Feeling distressed when objects or routines are not arranged in a particular way.
Repeating words, counting, reviewing events, or performing mental routines to reduce anxiety.
Feeling driven to repeat certain behaviors even when you recognize they may be excessive.
Obsessions or rituals may interfere with concentration, productivity, and completing tasks.
Repeated reassurance-seeking or routines may create stress in personal relationships.
Compulsions may consume significant time and make everyday activities more difficult.
Persistent intrusive thoughts may contribute to anxiety, frustration, guilt, or emotional exhaustion.
OCD may develop through a combination of biological, genetic, psychological, and environmental factors.
