OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, urges, or impulses that are interpreted as threating (obsessions). These lead to active and counterproductive attempts to reduce the thoughts and/or discharge the perceived responsibility associated with them (compulsions). Cognitive and behavioral approaches including exposure, response prevention, and behavioral experiments are effective treatments for OCD.
