More Than Being Tidy
OCD gets joked about, so it can go years without a name. It can involve thoughts that frighten you and feel completely unlike you, along with checking, counting, cleaning, asking for reassurance or repeating things until they feel right.
I see teens and adults with OCD. You may feel embarrassed about the content of your thoughts. There is no judgment here about any of it.
An example from an ordinary day can help explain what you are dealing with. You might describe how much time a concern takes, what it interrupts, or what makes it difficult to move on to the next task. These details can give the conversation a starting point while leaving room for questions and details that are difficult to put into words.
It Can Sound Like This
- I know it doesn't make sense, and I still have to do it.
- I've checked the stove six times.
- I'm scared of what these thoughts mean about me.
You can say these things in an evaluation. They help me understand what is going on, and I have no interest in judging them.
What the Evaluation Sorts Out
OCD can overlap with other conditions, so getting the picture right shapes the plan.
Obsessions
The unwanted thoughts or images and how often they show up.
Compulsions
What you do in response, visibly or in your head, and how much time it takes.
The Cost
What it has taken from work, school, relationships and rest.
Related Concerns
Anxiety and depression that often come along with it.
What Treatment Involves
Your plan is individualized and may include medication management along with supportive interventions.
