OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Individuals with OCD may feel compelled to perform these rituals to alleviate distress. OCD can significantly impact daily life and relationships. Understanding the nature of OCD is essential for fostering empathy and support for individuals managing this condition.

OCD involves repetitive thoughts and behaviors driven by distress. Recognizing the individuality of OCD experiences reduces stigma, encouraging open conversations and support.
