OCD and behavioral disorders can significantly affect daily life, relationships, work and emotional well-being if left untreated. At Nirvan Hospital, we provide comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for OCD and related behavioral concerns.
One mental health disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) causes a person to have unwelcome intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and recurrent actions or mental rituals (compulsions) meant to relieve tension or discomfort.
Our psychiatrists and clinical psychologists perform comprehensive assessments using standardized measures to provide an accurate diagnosis of OCD and related behaviors, distinguishing it from other anxiety disorders.
Most often, OCD remains hidden because of embarrassment, and thus years pass without any treatment. Consider seeking help if:
The first step is understanding the unique obsession and compulsion pattern, as there is no one way OCD works. In the case of a child, the assessment involves getting feedback from the parent or teacher to understand behavior in all possible settings. As a result, the therapist may choose to start either with ERP therapy, medication, or both.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) – The gold-standard treatment for OCD.
Psychiatric Medications – SSRIs and other drugs as needed for clinical reasons.
rTMS Therapy – A non drug alternative for severe, treatment-resistant forms of OCD.
Behavior Therapy for Children & Teenagers – Tailored interventions for managing disruptive behaviors.
Family Therapy and Psychoeducation – Preparing families to support treatment, and not reinforce compulsions.
Outpatient and Inpatient Services – Dependent on abatement of symptoms and degree of functional impairment.
No, OCD is a whole other animal with a much wider spectrum of obsessions and compulsions that go way beyond cleaning that aren't limited to having to check things repeatedly, intrusive fears, and a need for symmetry, to name a few.
Although [Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder] OCD is a chronic illness for many, treatment (especially ERP) and medication can reduce symptoms to the extent that most patients are able to lead normal, functional lives.
ERP is a type of CBT that exposes people to their fears in a gradual way and, at the same time, allows them to resist the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors, changing how the brain responds to anxiety over time.
The onset of OCD and related disorders of brain-behavior can be in childhood, teens or in adults; Hence Nirvan Hospital provides treatment modules specific to each age group.
rTMS is usually reserved for patients who have failed to respond to conventional treatment and drug, because it is a non-drug, non-invasive option.
