UNDERSTANDING OCD

What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

Understanding the difference between unwanted thoughts, compulsive behaviors and everyday habits can help people recognize when professional mental health support may be needed.

Obsessions

Unwanted & Recurrent Thoughts

Obsessions are recurring and unwanted thoughts, urges or mental images that can create significant anxiety or distress. They may involve contamination, fear of harm, excessive doubt, order, symmetry or other recurring concerns.

Compulsions

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that a person feels driven to perform, often in response to an obsession. They may provide temporary relief but can become disruptive when repeated excessively.

Daily Life

Impact on Everyday Functioning

OCD symptoms may consume considerable time and interfere with work, education, relationships, family life, sleep and routine activities.
