OCD and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition in which you have frequent unwanted thoughts and sensations (obsessions) that cause you to perform repetitive behaviors (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors can significantly interfere with social interactions and performing daily tasks.
The most common treatment plan for OCD involves psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication. Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, is a term for a variety of treatment techniques that aim to help you identify and change unhealthy emotions, thoughts and behaviors. You work with a mental health professional, such as a psychologist.
Common Examples
- Fear of coming into contact with perceived contaminated substances, such as germs or dirt.
- Fear of causing harm to yourself or someone else because you’re not careful enough or you’re going to act on a violent impulse.
- Unwanted thoughts or mental images related to sex.
- Fear of making a mistake.
- Excessive concern with morality (“right or wrong”).
- Feelings of doubt or disgust.
- Excessive concern with your sexual orientation or gender identity.
- Need for order, neatness, symmetry or perfection.
- Need for constant reassurance.
