Services / OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health issue marked by unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions (compulsions) that people feel they must do because of these thoughts. At Ultimate Mental Health Services we provide complete care for those dealing with OCD, using proven methods to help manage symptoms and enhance everyday living.
Common symptoms of OCD include repeated and troubling thoughts, fears, or images (obsessions) that lead to repeated actions or mental routines (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety or stopping a feared situation. These compulsions may offer temporary relief but can take up a lot of time and affect daily life.
Diagnosing OCD requires a thorough evaluation by a mental health expert, like those at Ultimate Mental Health Services. This evaluation might involve an interview, questionnaires, and watching symptoms. It’s important to tell apart OCD from other anxiety issues and health conditions to provide the right care.
Treatment for OCD usually combines medication and therapy. Doctors often prescribe selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for OCD, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), especially exposure and response prevention (ERP), is the most effective type of therapy. At Ultimate Mental Health Services, we work with individuals to create customized treatment plans that meet their unique needs and preferences.
Living with OCD can be tough, but there are supports and resources that can help. Ultimate Mental Health Services provides a caring environment where people with OCD can find the help they need to move towards recovery. We offer individual therapy, support groups, and information.
