Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that the person feels driven to perform. These behaviors often interfere with daily functioning and cause significant distress.
OCD affects people of all ages and can develop gradually over time or emerge suddenly. Common symptoms of OCD include:
- Obsessions: Unwanted and intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause distress or anxiety. Examples include fears of contamination, harming others, or needing things to be symmetrical.
- Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that individuals feel compelled to perform in response to their obsessions. Common compulsions include excessive hand washing, checking locks, counting, or repeating certain actions.
While OCD can be debilitating, it is treatable with the right combination of therapy and medication. At Sobti Nursing Home, we are committed to helping our patients achieve relief from their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Diagnosis and Treatment at Sobti Nursing Home
Dr. Neha Dua Sobti follows a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating OCD, ensuring that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on their unique condition.
- Thorough Evaluation and Diagnosis
During the initial consultation, Dr. Neha Dua Sobti conducts a detailed assessment of the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and family background. This evaluation helps in accurately diagnosing OCD and ruling out other conditions that may present similar symptoms. - Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The most effective treatment for OCD is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), specifically a form of CBT called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP involves gradually exposing the patient to situations that trigger their obsessions while helping them resist the urge to perform their compulsions. Over time, this helps reduce anxiety and break the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions. - Medication Management
In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage OCD symptoms. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly used to help reduce the frequency and intensity of obsessions and compulsions. Dr. Neha Dua Sobti carefully monitors each patient’s progress and adjusts the medication as needed to ensure optimal results. - Holistic Support and Long-Term Management
At Sobti Nursing Home, we understand that OCD can be a chronic condition, and long-term management may be necessary. In addition to therapy and medication, we offer ongoing support through regular follow-up sessions and coping strategies to help patients maintain their progress.
