What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD for short, is defined by experiencing excessive thoughts and obsessions that lead to a string of repetitive behaviours and compulsions. The obsessions refer to a thinking pattern of unnecessary thoughts and fears that could have an abundance of side-effects and cause irrational behaviours and reactions towards other people around you. In most cases, OCD revolves around singular themes, with most people who have OCD having a fear of germs (germophobic) or a compulsion to arrange everything around them in specific patterns.
OCD symptoms usually start with small and dismissible displays of germophobia and/or other compulsions or obsessions. However, these symptoms can gradually get more intense and reach a point where it controls a person’s impulsive behaviours and thinking patterns. Treatment for OCD includes talk therapy, medication, or a combination of both to ensure that the person can overcome these symptoms and live a life where they are in control of their actions and thoughts instead of being driven by their OCD.
