OCD is a mental health condition where individuals experience unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and perform repetitive actions (compulsions) to relieve anxiety.
Common Symptoms
Obsessions: Intrusive fears (e.g., contamination, harm).
Compulsions: Repeated behaviors (e.g., handwashing, counting).
Causes
Genetics, brain abnormalities, and environmental factors.
Treatment
ERP Therapy: Gradual exposure to fears without performing compulsions.
Medication: SSRIs can reduce symptoms.
OCD can feel exhausting, but effective treatments exist. With support, recovery is possible
