Questions about OCD?
We got you.
➤ Doesn't everyone have "a little OCD"?
Not quite. A common misconception is that liking things clean or double-checking your door is the same as having OCD. This self-diagnosis can cause harm because OCD involves serious intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that cause distress and interfere with daily life.
➤ What if my OCD isn't "that bad"?
Even if your symptoms feel manageable, OCD often works quietly in the background—draining your time, increasing anxiety, and reinforcing unhelpful cycles. Early treatment can prevent it from getting worse.
➤ Why can’t I just stop the thoughts or rituals?
Because OCD isn’t about willpower. The harder you try to control intrusive thoughts, the stronger they often become. Treatment with Integrative Psych can help you respond effectively without relying on compulsions.
➤ Does treatment actually help?
Yes. Evidence-based therapy like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can break the OCD cycle. Many people find real relief, even after years of struggling alone.
