What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
Have you ever wanted to wash your hands over and over again, soon after touching anything? Then, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may be the mental health condition you are suffering from. OCD is a mental health condition that makes victims prone to obsessions, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts.
Obsessions and compulsions are a way of responding to the growing anxiety caused by their thoughts. OCD affects people of all ages, and it can be identified by looking at the time consumed by obsessive and compulsive behaviours.
The Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Frequent Handwashing
Tendency to wash hands multiple times and have the fear of getting hands dirty.
Constant Doubts
Constantly checking whether the door is locked, the gas is off etc.
Arranging Things
Arranging and re-arranging things until you feel ‘this is right’.
Counting
Count out aloud and sometimes make decisions by counting.

Holistic Therapeutic Approaches for OCD
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a psychological treatment that focuses on eliminating negative thought patterns and actions that lead to obsessions and compulsions. Your therapist for OCD will help you identify these negative thought patterns and challenge them through counter-negative thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a short-term therapy highly effective for individuals suffering from OCD.
Exposure Response Prevention Therapy
Breathing has been used as a strategy to cope with anxiety and stress from time immemorial. DeepThe obsessive and compulsive actions displayed by OCD patients are a result of the anxiety developed through their thoughts. Through Exposure Response Prevention Therapy, the OCD counsellor will let the patient understand the thoughts that induce compulsive behaviour, without letting them engage in the behaviour. As a result, the patient will be forced to face their anxiety till they accept it, rather than deriving temporary relief through compulsive behaviour.
Supportive Psychotherapy
Apart from the major therapies, other supportive psychotherapy approaches such as Mindfulness Training, Breathing Re-training and Distress Tolerance skills are used. Medication management also forms an integral part of the supportive treatment for OCD.

Your Questions on OCD Answered
Yes, it is possible to cure OCD without medication. It requires counselling and treatments like Psychotherapy. However, medication is used as a supportive measure to help patients recover fully.
If a person has OCD, then it can disrupt the quality of their relationship with their family and loved ones as they will also get fully involved in that person’s daily lifestyle.
You must take therapy if diagnosed with OCD because it is a debilitating mental health condition. It can cause your quality of life to reduce and your mind will be filled with unnecessary thoughts and rituals. These exhausting thoughts can damage your relationships, prevent you from grabbing opportunities and give rise to other mental health conditions such as addiction, depression and others. Therefore, you should take counselling and therapy for OCD to take back control of your life.
Many situations can trigger OCD. Among them include unexpected life changes such as a breakup, losing your job, moving places or even death. Conditions like Trauma, Stress and Abuse are some other common factors of OCD. Alcohol and drug addiction can also trigger OCD.
Obsessions and compulsions are the two major symptoms of OCD. While obsessions are repetitive thoughts, compulsions are repetitive behaviours.
