Are you looking for an OCD Therapist in Cincinnati? Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that individuals feel compelled to perform to alleviate the anxiety caused by the obsessive thoughts.
Obsessions are persistent, unwanted, and often irrational thoughts, urges, or images that cause significant distress or anxiety. Examples of common obsessions include fear of contamination, excessive doubt, concern with order or symmetry, aggressive or sexual thoughts, and the need for precision or exactness.
Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that an individual feels driven to perform in response to their obsessions, usually with the aim of reducing their anxiety. Examples of common compulsions include excessive cleaning or hand-washing, counting, checking, seeking reassurance, and arranging or organizing objects.
OCD can significantly impair an individual's daily functioning and quality of life, and without proper treatment, it can become chronic.
Working with one of our OCD therapists is typically recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with OCD and are experiencing symptoms that significantly impact their daily functioning and quality of life.
OCD therapy can be helpful for individuals who are experiencing distressing, unwanted, and repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and/or engage in ritualistic or repetitive behaviors (compulsions) as a way of managing their anxiety.
