🧠 Let’s Talk About Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is a real and serious mental health condition — not just about being neat or tidy.
It involves a constant cycle of obsessions (unwanted thoughts, fears, or images) and compulsions (repetitive behaviours or rituals used to relieve anxiety).
Common examples include:
🔹 Repeated handwashing or cleaning
🔹 Checking doors, locks, or switches over and over
🔹 Counting or arranging items in a certain way
🔹 Needing constant reassurance or perfection
People with OCD often recognise that their thoughts are unreasonable, but the anxiety can be overwhelming — making the urge to repeat actions hard to control.
✨ The good news: OCD is treatable. With the right therapy, support, and sometimes medication, people can regain control and live balanced, fulfilling lives.
