What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

We all have little habits or rituals that we indulge in. In fact life is made up of routine and habit. It's when those habits and rituals begin to take over and we feel that we need to do them to avoid fear or something serious happening, that they fall into the category of OCD.

The habits and behaviours can seem bizarre to someone else, completely nonsensical, but to the person performing them, they feel they are 'locked' into the habit and in fact derive no pleasure from performing them.

It is thought that OCD can be related to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Luckily though, this chemical imbalance can be addressed effectively without medication. By applying behaviour therapy techniques, you can change they way you respond to thoughts and urges and can change the way your brain works.
