Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Managing these patterns is crucial for a better quality of life.

What is?
OCD involves intrusive thoughts that cause anxiety (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to alleviate the anxiety (compulsions). These patterns can significantly interfere with daily activities.

Recognizing Symptoms:
Symptoms may include persistent, distressing thoughts, fears of harm or contamination, and engaging in rituals such as counting or checking. Recognizing these signs is vital for seeking professional support.

Causes:
The exact cause of OCD is unknown, but a combination of genetic, neurological, behavioral, cognitive, and environmental factors contributes to its development.
