Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex and often debilitating mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. At the Mental Health Center of San Diego, we understand the profound impact that OCD can have on individuals and their loved ones. We are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate OCD treatment, offering hope and healing to those who struggle with this challenging condition.
OCD is characterized by intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate the anxiety associated with these obsessions. It can manifest in various forms, including:
Checking & Mental Rituals: Frequent checking of locks, stoves, or appliances or engaging in mental compulsions like praying.
Contamination: Excessive fears of germs or contaminants, leading to compulsive cleaning.
Hoarding: The accumulation of objects with difficulty discarding them.
Intrusive Thoughts: Disturbing, unwanted thoughts or images that provoke anxiety.
These symptoms can disrupt daily life, affect relationships, hinder work, and erode overall well-being.
Accurate diagnosis of OCD is a crucial first step in effective treatment. Diagnosing OCD requires a comprehensive evaluation by a trained mental health professional, and at the Mental Health Center of San Diego, we use a multi-faceted approach to ensure precise diagnosis.

CBT equips individuals with the tools they need to regain control over their lives.
Exposure and Response Prevention is a vital part of our OCD treatment program. ERP is based on the principle that individuals can overcome their fears and obsessions through gradual exposure to anxiety-provoking situations. Our therapists guide individuals through these exposures and help them resist the urge to perform compulsions.
