What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce the anxiety caused by those thoughts. OCD affects about 2-3% of the population and can be severely debilitating without proper treatment.

OCD is not about being "neat" or "organized"—it's a serious condition that causes significant distress and can consume hours of a person's day. Common themes include contamination fears, harm obsessions, religious/moral concerns, and the need for symmetry or exactness.

The good news is that OCD is highly treatable. At Empathy Health Clinic, our experienced team provides evidence-based OCD treatment including ERP therapy and medication management to help you regain control of your life.

Our OCD Treatment Approach

We use evidence-based treatments proven most effective for OCD.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

The gold-standard therapy for OCD. Gradually face fears while resisting compulsions, rewiring the brain's response to anxiety triggers.

Medication Management

SSRIs at higher doses are often effective for OCD. Your psychiatrist will work with you to find the right medication and dosage.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Learn to identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel obsessions and compulsions.

Comprehensive Care Coordination

Our psychiatrists and therapists work together to provide integrated treatment addressing all aspects of OCD.
