Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a long-lasting disorder in which a person experiences uncontrollable and recurring thoughts (obsessions), engages in repetitive behaviors (compulsions), or both. People with OCD have time-consuming symptoms (such as re-checking locks, counting, exessive handwashing, etc.) that can cause significant distress or interfere with daily life. 

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  is a type of talk therapy that helps people recognize harmful or untrue ways of thinking so they can more aware of and respond to challenging situations. CBT helps people learn to question these negative thoughts, determine how they impact their feelings and actions, and change self-defeating behavior patterns.
