Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD can involve persistent intrusive thoughts, fears, urges, or repetitive behaviors that become difficult to control and interfere with everyday life.
Inception Psychiatry provides personalized psychiatric evaluation and treatment for children ages 6+, adolescents, and adults experiencing OCD and related symptoms.
A clearer understanding starts with listening
More than habits or wanting things a certain way.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by obsessions, compulsions, or both.
Obsessions can involve recurring unwanted thoughts, images, fears, or urges. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts a person may feel driven to perform in response to an obsession or distress.
These experiences can become time-consuming and disruptive to school, work, relationships, routines, and everyday life.
