OCD is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people around the world. It is characterized by recurring and unwanted thoughts, known as obsessions, and repetitive behaviors or mental acts, known as compulsions. These symptoms can be distressing and time-consuming, impacting daily life and relationships. OCD is one of the conditions we treat at TRU Wellness Center. Call 888.680.7025 to learn how we can enhance your quality of life. 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at a Glance 

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that an individual feels driven to perform. These compulsions are often performed to alleviate the distress caused by the obsessions. OCD can interfere significantly with daily functioning and quality of life if left untreated. At TRU Wellness Center, we understand the complexities of OCD and offer comprehensive treatment plans that cater to the unique needs of each individual. 

Understanding Obsessions 

Obsessions are intrusive thoughts or urges that an individual cannot control. They often revolve around themes such as cleanliness, contamination, and harm or violence. These thoughts can be disturbing and cause significant anxiety, leading to compulsive behaviors as a way to cope with the distress. Examples of common obsessions include: 

  • Fear of germs or contamination 
  • Need for symmetry and order 
  • Intrusive thoughts about harm or violence 
  • Unwanted sexual thoughts 

Understanding Compulsions 

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that an individual feels driven to perform in response to their obsessions. These behaviors can provide temporary relief from the distress caused by obsessions, but they ultimately worsen the condition as they reinforce the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Some common examples of compulsions include: 

  • Excessive hand washing or cleaning 
  • Counting, tapping, or repeating words silently 
  • Arranging objects in a specific way 
  • Checking locks, appliances, and other items repeatedly 

If you are experiencing symptoms of OCD, seeking professional help is crucial.  

Fighting the Stigma 

Unlike media portrayals, OCD is not just about being neat or organized. It is a complex mental health condition that requires understanding and support from others. Unfortunately, due to misconceptions and stigmatization, many individuals with OCD may feel ashamed or embarrassed to seek help. At TRU Wellness Center, we are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health conditions like OCD and providing a safe and non-judgmental space for our clients. 

Treatment for OCD 

While there is no cure for OCD, it can be managed with proper treatment. At TRU Wellness Center, we offer evidence-based treatments that involve identifying and challenging the irrational thoughts that drive obsessions and learning coping mechanisms to resist engaging in compulsive behaviors. 

We also provide medication management services to help alleviate symptoms of OCD. Our team of experienced professionals works closely with each individual to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals.

At TRU Wellness Center, we pride ourselves on offering an integrative and personalized approach to mental health care. Our team of experienced therapists and mental health professionals work collaboratively to design treatment plans that are as unique as our clients.
