What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety-driven condition trapped in a loop. It is characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts or fears (obsessions) that drive a person to perform repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) in an attempt to ease their distress.

OCD can consume hours of your day and dictate how you live your life. It is important to know that these thoughts do not define who you are, and with highly targeted therapy and medical support, you can successfully interrupt the cycle.

Common Signs of OCD

OCD looks different for everyone, but the core mechanism is always a cycle of anxiety and temporary relief. Common signs include:

  • Severe anxiety triggered by intrusive, unwanted thoughts
  • An intense fear of contamination, germs, or causing harm
  • Feeling driven to perform rigid, repetitive routines
  • Compulsive checking (e.g., locks, appliances, or safety)
  • A need for absolute symmetry or extreme orderliness
  • Experiencing panic if a routine cannot be completed

I was hopeless and out of options.  My medications were no longer working and my depression was worsening and leading to suicidal thoughts to say the least.  After the 1st 6 treatments of Ketamine, I was clearly on the road to recovery.  I felt alive again and full of hope.  I could never be so thankful to have this as a treatment option.  Thank you so much to the wonderful staff at Kansas Mental Health Medicine.
