OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (or OCD) affects approximately 5 million people in the United States. Those affected may have uncontrollable repetitive compulsions towards certain behaviors or thought processes. As with other disorders, many people challenged with OCD feel embarrassed and uncomfortable in confiding their secrets or in seeking help.

SYMPTOMS OF OCD

• reoccuring persistent thoughts, ideas, or urges that cause distress
• redundant and intentional behaviors acted out in response to an obsession
• realization that the behavior is excessive or unreasonable

Traditional therapy consists of either applying a painful stimulus to interupt the association of the obsession, or with flooding, a technique where the client is subjected to prolong exposure to the object that triggers the symptoms.
