OCD Treatment in Perth – Compassionate & Effective Therapy at Mindstate Psychology
Understanding OCD and Its Impact
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition that significantly affects the lives of people who experience OCD symptoms. It is characterised by persistent thoughts, known as obsessions, which cause significant psychological distress and lead to compulsive behaviours aimed at reducing anxiety (compulsions). Despite common misconceptions, OCD is not just about cleanliness or orderliness. It involves a broad range of distressing symptoms, from number obsessions and exactness obsessions to aggressive sexual behaviour and religious or moral obsessions.
Many individuals with OCD also experience related psychological disorders, such as body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, eating disorders, and skin picking. Without appropriate psychological treatment, the condition can worsen over time, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being. However, with evidence-based treatment, including cognitive behavioural therapy, individuals can effectively manage their symptoms and regain control of their lives.
