OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD)

Serving Kitchener-Waterloo, Milton, Oakville, London, and the surrounding areas, Anchoridge Counselling wants to help you in living with OCD and how to overcome it day by day.

UNDERSTANDING OCD: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or rituals (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions can cause significant distress and interfere with daily life. Common symptoms include fears of contamination, doubts, a need for symmetry, or repetitive checking. Finding the right therapist can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for individuals with OCD.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) profoundly affects individuals by consuming their thoughts and actions with relentless obsessions and compulsions. These intrusive thoughts provoke intense anxiety, leading to repetitive behaviours aimed at alleviating distress or preventing perceived harm.

OCD can disrupt daily routines, strain relationships, and impair occupational or academic performance.

The emotional toll is significant, often causing distress, guilt, and feelings of isolation. Seeking professional help is crucial for managing OCD symptoms effectively, enhancing quality of life, and restoring a sense of control over one's thoughts and behaviors.
