About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

WHAT IS OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition that goes far beyond a simple desire for cleanliness or order. It’s characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that cause significant distress, coupled with repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety. These can include excessive hand washing, repeated checking, or mental rituals like counting, which often severely impact daily life and social interactions.

While many people experience occasional intrusive thoughts or repetitive behaviors, individuals with OCD find these patterns persistent, distressing, and difficult to control. At Light Side Wellness Co., we understand the profound impact OCD can have on your life. Our comprehensive approach combines evidence-based psychiatric treatments and personalized lifestyle strategies. By addressing OCD from multiple angles, we aim to help you regain control, reduce symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and support needed to manage OCD effectively and rediscover a sense of peace and fulfillment in your daily experiences.

Understanding the Signs

What are the Symptoms?

Obsessions in OCD are persistent, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant distress and anxiety. These thoughts are often irrational and unwanted, yet they feel uncontrollable despite logical reasoning. Some common obsessions include:

A strong fixation with dirt or germs

Repeated doubts (for example, about having turned off the stove)

A need to have things in a very specific order

Thoughts about violence or hurting someone

Spending long periods of time touching things or counting

Fixation with order or symmetry

Persistent thoughts of awful sexual acts

Troubled by thoughts that are against personal or religious beliefs

Despite recognizing the irrationality of obsessive thoughts, individuals with OCD often find them impossible to dismiss through logic alone.

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to alleviate the anxiety caused by obsessions.

These compulsive rituals can become excessive and time-consuming, significantly disrupting daily life and relationships.

To cope, some individuals may resort to avoidance behaviors or substance use, further complicating their condition.

Repeated hand-washing (often 100+ times a day)
Checking and rechecking to make sure that a door is locked or that the oven is turned off for example
Following rigid rules of order, such as, putting on clothes in the same order each day, or alphabetizing the spices, and getting upset if the order becomes disrupted
