What Is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to relieve the distress those thoughts cause. It can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions in daily life.
People experiencing OCD often feel trapped in repetitive cycles of worry and ritual, even when they recognize the thoughts or behaviors as excessive. These symptoms can gradually worsen if not properly addressed.
At MIU Center, we provide compassionate and evidence-based treatment for OCD in Maryland, helping patients regain control, clarity, and emotional balance through personalized psychiatric care.
