Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves a cycle of intrusive thoughts (obsessions) causing distressing feelings, leading individuals to engage in repetitive behaviors (compulsions) to alleviate anxiety. Individuals repeat the same activities over, and over again, to soothe themselves and keep their obsessions at bay. Common compulsions can include excessive cleaning and organizing, counting, washing hands and checking doors and windows.
At AMS, we offer personalized treatment plans for both obsessions and compulsions to help individuals manage OCD symptoms effectively. The approach involves exploring various therapies, medications, and lifestyle adjustments to suit the individual’s needs. Support and guidance are essential throughout this process to address specific challenges, fostering well-being and empowering individuals to regain control over their lives and minimize the impact of OCD on daily functioning.
