Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder (OCD)
OCD involves unwanted intrusive thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) and behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing something bad from happening. OCD can be exhausting and time-consuming, and it often affects daily life, relationships, and confidence.Reason People Seek Support

Fear of harming someone, making a mistake, or being responsible

Feeling ashamed or worried about what the thoughts “mean”
Feeling stuck in cycles you can’t easily stop
