Do you feel like you’re stuck in a loop of thoughts or behaviors that you can’t control? Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects about 1% of the population and is characterized by unwanted thoughts, known as obsessions, and repetitive actions, known as compulsions.

Some people with OCD have obsessions about germs, leading to compulsive handwashing, while others may obsess about symmetry or safety, causing them to repeatedly check locks or arrange objects. This disorder can be debilitating, making everyday activities feel overwhelming.

Treatment often includes a combination of therapy and medication, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people address the thoughts and behaviors that fuel their OCD. To learn more about OCD and its treatment options, visit the NIH’s article on OCD.
