Obsessive compulsive disorder
What is OCD?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a mental health disorder that can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. It occurs when a person gets caught in a cycle of obsessions and rituals. Obsessions are unwanted, intrusive thoughts that trigger intensely distressing feelings. Rituals are behaviors an individual does in an attempt to get rid of the thoughts to decrease their distress.
Types of Treatment
OCD requires a specific type of treatment called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) / Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). I have advanced training and certification in the treatment of OCD utilizing CBT/ERP for both adolescents and adults
OCD Myths and Misconceptions
Numerous myths and misconceptions surround OCD, which can lead to numerous harmful consequences, such as feelings of isolation and self-doubt for those affected. There is a general lack of understanding not just about OCD, but also other mental health conditions in general. By debunking these OCD myths, we can help reduce the stigma associated with OCD and create a more supportive environment for those living with the disorder.
