OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment in Texas

Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than being “neat” or “organized.” It involves unwanted, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) that are difficult to control. These patterns can take up hours of your day and interfere with work, school, and relationships.

Common symptoms of OCD include:

  • Obsessions – intrusive, unwanted thoughts, urges, or images (e.g., fear of contamination, fear of harming others, doubts about safety, taboo thoughts)

  • Compulsions – repetitive behaviors or rituals aimed at reducing anxiety (e.g., handwashing, checking, counting, repeating words, arranging objects)

  • Significant distress or loss of time caused by these symptoms

  • Avoidance of people, places, or situations that may trigger obsessions or compulsions

OCD affects people of all ages and often begins in adolescence or early adulthood. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen, but with the right care, symptoms can improve significantly.
