Understanding OCD

Signs & Symptoms: How OCD Can Affect Daily Life

The symptoms of OCD often cause individuals to spend an extreme amount of time on the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, which can challenge individuals in developing and maintaining:
  • Day-to-day Functioning: You may spend several hours during the day on obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. 
  • Disruption of Routines: The symptoms of OCD often interfere with and negatively impact an individual’s ability to complete tasks at work or home and can delay their arrival at work or other responsibilities on time.
  • Relationships: Loved ones may be confused or struggle to understand and cope with compulsive behaviors or obsessive thoughts. The strain of OCD symptoms can lead to the development of discord and dissatisfaction in a relationship.
  • Social Connections: Individuals with OCD can have one or more anxiety disorders or health anxiety, like social anxiety, because they are embarrassed by or fear triggering their symptoms. Isolating oneself from others often leads to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
  • Educational Difficulties: The symptoms of OCD can make focusing on studies, completing tasks, or participating in team or group activities difficult. 
You may not be sure if you or a loved one has OCD. If you or a loved one has one or more of these symptoms, you should contact a treatment program provider, such as Ocean View, to discuss treatment options:

Obsessions

  • Fear of contamination
  • Performing a particular behavior a specified number of times
  • Ordering objects in a specific order
  • Afraid of harming others or themselves
  • Have a strict or regimented routine
  • Demanding reassurance from others constantly

Compulsions

  • Excessive hand-washing (washing to the point hands become red and raw)
  • Checking on things (for example, checking to see if doors are locked repeatedly for an excessive amount of time)
  • Checking the stove to make sure it’s turned off
  • Counting in specific patterns
  • Repeating, silently, a particular phrase, word, or prayer
  • An extreme thought process of trying to switch negative thoughts with positive thoughts
  • The need to have labels facing the same way

When It’s Time to Get Help for OCD

The time to get help for your OCD symptoms is when your compulsions and obsessions significantly disrupt your daily functioning, for example, isolating yourself from others, the ability to perform day-to-day tasks, or work. Additionally, you should seek help if your symptoms become uncontrollable and are worsening.

Treatment of OCD can be effective when a qualified treatment team provides evidence-based, effective treatment. At Ocean View, our treatment team provides empathetic, private care using a treatment approach that is tailored to your needs. We work with you to form a treatment plan that focuses on your OCD symptoms and related disorders, for example, anxiety treatment, with evidence-based treatment. 

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.

Medication Stabilization

Medication management is a key part of our inpatient crisis stabilization, where medications are carefully reviewed and prescribed based on each individual’s medical history, needs, and potential side effects. If a patient is experiencing agitation or other symptoms, appropriate medications may be used to help manage these issues safely. Continuous monitoring allows our healthcare team to make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal care and safety throughout treatment.
