Break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
Overview
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by unwanted, recurring thoughts (obsessions) that drive repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety. These cycles can consume hours of the day and significantly impair quality of life. OCD is a treatable condition — specialized therapy and medication help patients regain control and reduce the grip of obsessions and compulsions.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. OCD involves distressing, unwanted thoughts and compulsive rituals that a person feels driven to perform. It is a serious condition, not a personality quirk.

OCD is chronic but highly manageable. Many patients achieve significant symptom reduction and lead full lives with ERP therapy and medication.
