Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition that significantly impacts an individual’s daily life. It is characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts known as obsessions and repetitive behaviors or mental acts known as compulsions. These compulsions are driven by the need to alleviate the distress caused by the obsessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a leading treatment for OCD. It focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other. This article will explain how CBT works, how it helps people with OCD, and how well it treats anxiety disorders.
