Are You Looking for Support with OCD?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that causes people to experience unwanted, irrational, and persistent reoccurring thoughts and compulsive behaviors that cause anxiety.

What OCD can look like in everyday life:

  • Fear of contamination by germs, bodily fluids, or environmental contaminants 

  • Fear of acting on an impulse to harm oneself or others 

  • Needing things to be symmetrical, orderly, or "just-right" 

  • Hand washing until the skin is raw 

  • Checking doors and stoves repeatedly to make sure they are locked or off 

  • Counting in specific patterns 

  • Silently repeating a word, phrase, or prayer
