Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) therapy refers to a range of therapies and interventions that are specifically designed to help individuals who have been diagnosed with OCD, a disorder characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts, ideas, or sensations (obsessions) that drive an individual to perform repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) in response. The compulsions are intended to reduce the distress caused by the obsessions, but they are not realistically connected to them and or are excessive.
The goal of OCD therapy is to help individuals understand and cope with the symptoms of the disorder and to develop the skills and strategies needed to manage the impact of the disorder on their lives and relationships. This can include addressing underlying issues that may have contributed to the development of the disorder, such as emotional or psychological problems, and developing healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stress and other triggers.
