What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that trigger intensely distressing feelings. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts an individual engages in to attempt to relieve the anxiety caused by the obsessions.
Common Signs and Symptoms of OCD
-
Intrusive, unwanted thoughts or mental images that cause significant anxiety.
-
Repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce anxiety or prevent a feared event.
-
A need for things to be symmetrical or in a perfect order.
-
Excessive doubts and a need for constant reassurance from others.
-
Fears of contamination or of harming oneself or others unintentionally.
Understanding the Causes of OCD
The exact causes of OCD are not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Research suggests that differences in brain structure and function, particularly in communication between certain parts of the brain, may play a role. A family history of the disorder can also increase one’s risk of developing OCD.
