What Is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
Mental health issues affect people around the globe on a day to day basis. It presents itself in different forms varying in causes and symptoms. Among those is OCD, a mental health anxiety issue, which is very common and causes the individual affected to experience various OCD symptoms such as depression, anxiety, hopelessness, isolation, etc. A continuous loop of obsessions is what triggers these symptoms, which then lead to compulsions, causing hindrance to the smooth running of a person’s daily life.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder comprises of a chain of distressing thoughts, impulses or images (obsessions). This results in the person experiencing it to go through a considerable amount of anxiety and discomfort. This leads the person to engage in mental acts or repetitive behaviours (compulsions) in order to minimize the discomfort caused by the obsessions. Compulsions are often performed in a way that is very specific or even ritualistic, and could continue for a significant period of time.
