Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing the distress caused by these thoughts. OCD can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life, but effective treatment is available.
Our Approach to OCD Treatment
At Huntington Beach Mental Health, we offer a comprehensive and individualized approach to treating OCD. Our goal is to help you manage symptoms, reduce distress, and improve overall well-being.
Evidence-Based Therapies
We utilize the latest evidence-based therapies to treat OCD, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a cornerstone of OCD treatment. It helps individuals identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns and develop healthier ways of responding to obsessive thoughts.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specific type of CBT that involves gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or thoughts without engaging in compulsive behaviors. This process helps reduce the anxiety associated with obsessions over time.
In some cases, medication management can be an effective component of OCD treatment. Our experienced psychiatrists work closely with you to determine if medication is appropriate and to monitor its effectiveness.
Holistic and Supportive Care
Our holistic approach to OCD treatment includes:
Incorporating mindfulness and stress management strategies can help you stay grounded and manage anxiety more effectively.
OCD can impact the entire family. We offer family therapy and education to help loved ones understand the disorder and learn how to support you in your recovery.
