What is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and what are its common symptoms?

OCD is a mental health disorder characterized by intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive, ritualistic behaviors (compulsions). Common symptoms include persistent, unwanted thoughts, the need to perform repetitive actions, and an overwhelming urge to alleviate anxiety through these rituals.

How can OCD be effectively managed and treated?

Effective management of OCD often involves a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments. Dr. Nzoiwu and her team at Healthstat Psychiatry are experienced in evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

These therapies help individuals confront their obsessions and compulsions, gradually reducing their intensity and impact on daily life.
