OCD
Unwanted intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that feel impossible to resist - OCD is treatable, and you are not alone.
What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a cycle of distressing, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and the urge to perform rituals (compulsions) to ease the anxiety they cause.
It is not about being tidy or particular – it can be deeply distressing and time-consuming. With proven, compassionate treatment, the cycle can be loosened and life reclaimed.
Do these feel familiar?
You do not need to have every sign. If a few of these resonate, it is worth a gentle conversation.
- Recurring unwanted thoughts
- Intense urges to check or repeat
- Excessive washing or cleaning
- Need for symmetry or order
- Seeking constant reassurance
- Time-consuming rituals
- Distress when routines are broken
- Avoiding certain places or objects
This is not a diagnosis. Only a qualified psychiatrist can assess your situation properly. This list is simply here to help you decide whether to reach out.
