It has two main parts that are connected, obsessions and compulsions.Obsessions are unwelcome thoughts, feelings, images, urges, worries or doubts that keep coming into your mind. They may feel stuck in your mind, no matter what you do. You may worry what they mean or why they won’t go away, and feel very distressed by them.Compulsions are repetitive things that you do to reduce the distress or uncertainty caused by obsessions. Compulsions can be things you do physically, like repeatedly checking a door is locked. Or they can be things you do in your head, like repeating a specific word to yourself. Or they may involve others, such as asking people for reassurance.Treatment can involve talking therapies such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with Exposure and response prevention (ERP).You may be offered the following medications for OCD, either on their own or alongside talking therapy:Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) – this is a type of antidepressant. Research has shown that it can also help to treat OCD.Clomipramine – this is a tricyclic antidepressant. You may be offered this if you try an SSRI but it doesn’t help.If you think you might have OCD, visit your GP, and you can find further information at mind.org.uk/ More
