Understanding OCD Symptoms
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms include obsessions, compulsions, or both. Obsessions involve intrusive, unwanted thoughts about contamination, harm, or morality. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental rituals, such as excessive cleaning or counting, performed to reduce anxiety or prevent perceived threats.
Types of OCD
OCD comes in various forms, including contamination fears, compulsive checking, hoarding, intrusive thoughts, and symmetry obsessions. A related condition, OCPD, involves rigid perfectionism and control. Identifying the specific type through assessment helps guide effective treatment.
Our Comprehensive Approach to OCD Treatment
At UpNext Psychiatric Associates, we take a personalized and holistic approach to managing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to your unique symptoms, challenges, and goals.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough OCD assessment to understand the severity of your symptoms, identify triggers, and evaluate how OCD is affecting your life. Our team also evaluates for co-occurring conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive personality disorder or anxiety.
- Evidence-Based Treatments: Our customized treatment plans may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A structured, evidence-based therapy that challenges intrusive thoughts and reduces compulsive behaviors.
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): A specialized form of CBT that helps you confront fears while resisting compulsions.
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Medication: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other medications may be prescribed to reduce symptoms and restore emotional balance.
- Holistic Support: We integrate mindfulness practices, stress reduction techniques, and family education to enhance recovery. Our goal is to address not just the symptoms but also the emotional and environmental factors contributing to OCD.
