What is Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
Living with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is like having a brain that is hyper aware all the time for all the possibilities of risks. In a shorter version, OCD begins with unwanted intrusive thoughts or urges (obsessions) followed by mental or physical behaviors as reactions (compulsions). This entire cycle may provide temporary relief from the distress arising from obsession triggers. Still, it worsens OCD by reinforcing the obsession that was an issue in the first place.
How can OCD affect Your life?
OCD is a dark cloud that shadows all aspects of your life, daily routine and your relationships. It alters your approach towards whatever you do. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health condition that is currently affecting more than 1% of Americans, according to the American Psychiatric Association (PA). OCD causes intense, unwanted and unregulated urges to perform a ritualistic obsessive-compulsive cycle. Stress, trauma , depression symptoms and abuse of any kind can increase the intensity and frequency of OCD stressors.
Some common repetitive behaviors of OCD include repeatedly washing hands, checking and rechecking that doors are locked or the stove Is off or unintentionally repeating the same phrases, etc. OCD starts appearing in early childhood. It often comes as small habits that later develop into more rigid routines. It can be difficult to embrace OCD diagnosis, considering the stigma and shame surrounding it. Early intervention increases the chances to reduce and manage OCD symptoms more effectively.

FAQs
Anxiety and OCD are characterized by excessive worry, but OCD is backed by unwanted thoughts that always lead to compulsive behaviors and reactions. In anxiety disorder, excessive worry does not lead to a compulsive pattern of responses to reduce worry but OCD always includes an irrational reaction to lower the stress.
OCD is a little tricky to diagnose. Its symptoms often overlap with anxiety. It is important that a qualified psychiatrist makes an accurate diagnosis. A mental health professional will carefully observe your obsessive behaviors and the corresponding compulsive reactions. He makes a note of the time the cycle of obsession-compulsion takes to complete to assess the intensity of OCD.
OCD is a complex mental health situation. It significantly hinders a person’s ability to carry on daily routine tasks and is therefore considered a disability. The severity of OCD is also an important factor in deciding whether it becomes a disability for that person. Each case of OCD is different. Some people might experience only mild symptoms that are relatively more manageable than someone experiencing severe obsessions.
OCD cannot be fully treated, but its symptoms can be effectively managed. Depending on how intense your obsessions are, certain psychiatric medications can treat OCD up to a level where it does not continue to rule your life.
OCD symptoms continue to change throughout your life. Some people might remain stable for their entire lives, while for others, their intensity might keep changing. A psychiatrist cannot accurately predict this. Several factors can have a significant influence on OCD stressors, including age, environmental and general health conditions, etc.
