What Is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD)?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that affects people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. It arises when an individual becomes stuck in a recurring pattern of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions refer to unwanted and intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses that trigger intense anxiety and distress.
On the other hand, compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that an individual engages in to alleviate the discomfort caused by the obsessions. Although many people experience obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors at some point in their lives, this does not imply that everyone has OCD.
The diagnosis of OCD is reserved for cases in which the cycle of obsessions and compulsions is particularly severe, taking up a significant amount of time (over an hour per day), causing profound distress, or interfering with social, occupational, and personal functioning of life.
Some common symptoms of OCD include:
Intrusive and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that cause distress
Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that are performed in response to the obsessions
Avoiding situations or objects that trigger obsessions
Feelings of anxiety, guilt, or shame associated with the obsessions and compulsions
A strong need for order, neatness, symmetry or perfection
Disclaimer: If these symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and last for at least 2 successive weeks or longer, it might be considered a disorder.
Below is a list of statements that commonly relate to individuals who have symptoms of Obsession and Compulsion. Please read each statement carefully and please indicate the option that best describes you.
