Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support

 Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These cycles can feel overwhelming and may interfere with daily life, relationships, and social interactions.

Everyone experiences the occasional intrusive thought or repetitive action. However, when these behaviors become so frequent or time-consuming that they take over hours of your day, it may be a sign of OCD.

 OCD can be difficult to recognize because its symptoms often overlap with other conditions such as anxiety, depression, or Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Some key distinctions include:

• OCD: Individuals usually recognize that their compulsive behaviors are irrational but feel unable to control them.
   
• OCPD: Individuals often view their perfectionism, need for control, or rigid routines as normal or beneficial, even when these traits disrupt daily life.
   

OCD can also occur alongside other mental health concerns, making proper diagnosis and treatment essential.

 At Journey For Tomorrow, Inc., our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients regain control over their lives. CBT teaches practical skills to:

• Manage intrusive thoughts
• Reduce compulsive behaviors
• Break the cycle of obsessions and ritual 
• Improve daily functioning and overall quality of life
   

Our goal is to help you or your loved one find freedom from the patterns of OCD and rediscover a sense of peace, balance, and hope.
