Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood and misrepresented. It’s more than just liking things organized or having a preference for symmetry.

🌟What OCD Actually Is…

Obsessions: Experiencing intense feelings that you must do things in a specific way, or else something bad might happen or things won’t feel right. This includes frequent intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety and doubt. Common themes involve fear of contamination, harming others, or a need for moral perfection.

Compulsions: Feeling an urgent need to perform certain actions to prevent something bad from happening. These are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed in response to an obsession or according to strict rules. Common compulsions include excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or repeating actions.

If you or someone you know struggles with obsessions and compulsions that interfere with daily life, seeking professional help is crucial.
