OCD Treatment in Miami

Understanding the concern

Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, images, or urges and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce distress. Symptoms can be time-consuming, difficult to discuss, and disruptive to school, work, relationships, or daily routines.

Common signs and symptoms

• Intrusive fears about contamination, harm, mistakes, morality, or uncertainty
• Checking, washing, repeating, arranging, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals
• Avoidance of people, places, objects, or situations that trigger distress
• Significant time spent managing obsessions or compulsions
• Awareness that the pattern may be excessive while still feeling unable to stop

What a psychiatric evaluation considers

The evaluation reviews the form, frequency, triggers, and impact of symptoms, along with mood, anxiety, trauma history, psychotic symptoms, developmental history, medical conditions, medications, substance use, and safety.
