Understanding OCD and Its Impact

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition that can significantly affect your quality of life. Individuals diagnosed with OCD may experience persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) in an effort to reduce anxiety or distress. These symptoms can interfere with daily routines, relationships, and responsibilities, often creating a sense of overwhelm or isolation.

OCD affects everyone differently. There is no single set of obsessions or compulsions. Rituals and thought patterns are often shaped by personal experiences, making individualized care essential.

Psychiatric Assessment at Ocean View Health Facility

When you arrive at Ocean View Psychiatric Health Facility, the first step is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Our experienced clinical team assesses your current symptoms, psychiatric history, medication use, and overall health. This allows us to understand your symptoms related to OCD.

A clear and accurate understanding of your symptoms helps inform the most effective level of care and medication strategy.
