In the United States, it’s estimated that slightly over 1% of adults currently deal with OCD, with a little over 2% experiencing it at some point in their lives. Among children and adolescents, prevalence rates are a bit varied, with estimates between .25% and 4%. This data emphasizes the essential need for effective OCD therapy interventions and societal awareness.
Unwanted, recurring thoughts or images causing distress.
Repetitive actions or rituals aimed at mitigating the anxiety from obsessions.
Such as counting or praying, performed in response to obsessions.
The obsessions and compulsions can interfere with daily activities, even when the individual recognizes their irrational nature.
It’s not unusual for individuals with OCD to feel embarrassed or ashamed of their symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective form of therapy for OCD. Success is due in large part to a strong emphasis on a specialized CBT technique: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
A cornerstone in treating OCD, ERP helps individuals face and endure their obsessive thoughts without resorting to compulsive behaviors for relief. Over time, this leads to a reduction in the intensity and frequency of obsessions and the urge to perform compulsions.
