Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by a cycle of intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform. These symptoms can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.

Common obsessions include fears of contamination, unwanted taboo thoughts, or excessive doubts. Compulsions often manifest as excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or mental rituals. At Divine Mental Health Services, we understand how distressing these symptoms can be and offer evidence-based treatments to help break this cycle.

Effective treatments for OCD include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
• Medication management when appropriate
• Mindfulness-based approaches
• Personalized coping strategies

With professional support, most individuals with OCD can learn to manage their symptoms and regain control of their lives. Early intervention typically leads to better outcomes, so we encourage you not to delay seeking help.
