OCD/COMPULSIVITY

OCD and Compulsivity Overview:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and compulsivity involve persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety. These conditions can manifest in various aspects of life, including relationships, work, parenting, food, finances, and more.

Behavioral Characteristics:

1. Intrusive Obsessions: Individuals experience persistent, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety or distress.
2. Compulsive Rituals: To alleviate anxiety, individuals engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts, known as compulsions, which are often time-consuming and interfere with daily life.
3. Impact on Relationships: OCD and compulsivity can strain relationships, as individuals may struggle with excessive doubt, indecision, or the need for reassurance.
4. Functional Impairment: These conditions can lead to difficulties in daily functioning, impacting various areas such as parenting, work, financial management, and self-care.
