Description

Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder (OCD): Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder involves unwanted and disturbing thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) that intrude into the mind and cause a great deal of anxiety or discomfort. Compulsions are learned behaviors, which become repetitive and habitual when they are associated with relief from anxiety. Chemical, structural and functional abnormalities in the brain are the cause for OCD. Distorted beliefs reinforce and maintain symptoms associated with OCD. How is it treated? Our treatment option for OCD can include:  Psychological treatments such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT).  Anxiety management techniques.  Support groups and education.
