Therapy for OCD will often include the use of evidence-based approaches such as exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These approaches can help desensitize you to feared stimuli over time, teach helpful coping skills, and decrease the intensity of symptoms. Your provider may also recommend medication to help lessen the impact of symptoms and improve overall functioning.
There is no single proven cause of OCD. However, researchers believe genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental factors can all play a role.
A professional diagnosis from a qualified mental health professional is the only sure way to know if you have OCD. That said, some common signs of OCD include obsessive behavior (such as fear of contamination), difficulty with uncertainty, unwanted thoughts, intense stress, having strict routines, repetitive behavior patterns, & more.
Yes, OCD is a common anxiety disorder. Like other anxiety disorders, it causes intense fear, worry, and stress, though treatment for each disorder differs and will be tailored to your unique symptoms.
While genetics are thought to play a role in the onset of OCD, the exact cause is unknown and environment and brain anatomy can also be factors in its development.
OCD is a relatively common disorder, estimated to affect 1-3% of people during their lifetimes. Research also states it is more commonly diagnosed in women than men.
Thriveworks offers a range of services, in addition to obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (ocdt), each designed to meet specific needs. Our goal is to provide the right kind of support for every challenge you may face.
