Mental illness

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental illness that induces an uncontrollable urge to do specific actions repeatedly. It can be an unpleasant and unwanted thought, image or urge that repeatedly enters a person’s mind, causing feelings of anxiety, disgust or unease. This obsessive behaviour can pose a threat to a person’s quality of life. But with psychotherapy, guided therapy and counseling patients suffering from OCD learn to manage the condition, reduce the occurrence and severity of such compulsive behavior. Early diagnosis is essential to manage it successfully.
