The main symptoms of OCD are having intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An individual with OCD may experience unwanted images or thoughts. They may also feel a need for balance or fear losing control. These intrusive thoughts can harm one’s mental health. OCD symptoms also include compulsive behaviors such as having rituals and rules.
The exact cause of OCD isn’t clear; it is thought to possibly be caused by a mix of genetics and environmental factors. Images of individuals’ brains with OCD demonstrate very small differences compared to those without the mental health condition. It is likely that the causes of OCD include a combination of factors.
OCD and its symptoms can be treated. One of the main treatment methods for OCD is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In CBT, a therapist works with the individual to address and work on adapting any negative thoughts and behaviors. Another tactic a therapist might use is exposure therapy. In this form of therapy, people can face various fears and situations in a safe environment. Reach out to a therapist near you for more information.
