OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic condition that causes unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These symptoms can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. At Clarity Health, we specialize in treating OCD using effective, evidence-based therapies that help patients regain control over their lives.

OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) Treatment

What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is characterized by repetitive, distressing thoughts that lead to compulsive behaviors meant to reduce anxiety. Individuals with OCD often know that their thoughts and actions are irrational, but they feel powerless to stop them. Common symptoms include:

• Obsessions about contamination, harm, or perfectionism
• Rituals such as excessive handwashing, counting, or checking
• Fear of making mistakes or causing harm
• Intrusive, unwanted thoughts about violence or taboo subjects

Our OCD Treatment Approach:

At Clarity Health, we utilize several proven treatment methods to help manage OCD symptoms. We aim to reduce the frequency and intensity of obsessive thoughts and eliminate compulsive behaviors.

Evidence-Based Treatments for OCD:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is one of the most effective therapies for OCD, helping patients challenge and reframe their obsessive thoughts.
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): A specialized form of CBT that involves gradually exposing patients to their fears while preventing their compulsive responses. This helps break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
• Medication Management: In some cases, medication like SSRIs may be prescribed to help manage OCD symptoms when therapy alone isn’t enough.
• Mindfulness Techniques: We teach relaxation and mindfulness techniques to help patients manage their anxiety and intrusive thoughts more effectively.

Why Seek Treatment for OCD?

Left untreated, OCD can severely limit a person's quality of life, leading to isolation, depression, and difficulty maintaining employment or relationships. At Clarity Health, our goal is to empower patients to overcome OCD and lead fulfilling, balanced lives.
