What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition with two key parts:
-Obsessions – unwanted, distressing thoughts (like fear of germs or harm).
-Compulsions – repetitive actions done to reduce anxiety (like cleaning, checking, or counting).
It’s not just about being neat—OCD can be overwhelming and exhausting.
What helps?
-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-Medication (SSRIs)
-Support from others
You’re not alone. OCD is treatable, and help is available.
