Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) aimed at alleviating the distress caused by the obsessions. These obsessions and compulsions can significantly interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall functioning. The exact cause of OCD is not fully understood but is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. Treatment for OCD often includes a combination of psychotherapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and medication, typically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). CBT helps individuals identify and challenge their thought patterns and learn healthier coping mechanisms, while SSRIs can help regulate serotonin levels in the brain, potentially reducing the severity of symptoms.
