Understanding Obsessions and Compulsions

  • Obsessions:
    These are intrusive, distressing thoughts, images, or urges that repeatedly enter a person’s mind. Common obsessions include fears of contamination, doubts about safety or responsibility, or unwanted violent or sexual thoughts.

  • Compulsions:
    In response to their obsessions, individuals with OCD may engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts in an attempt to reduce anxiety or prevent feared outcomes. Compulsions can include excessive handwashing, checking, counting, or repeating actions.

What Causes OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition with no single known cause. Research suggests that OCD is the result of a combination of genetic, neurological, environmental, and psychological factors. Some of the key contributors include:

  • Genetics: Family history plays a role, with individuals having a higher likelihood of developing OCD if they have close relatives who also suffer from the disorder.

  • Brain Structure and Functioning: Abnormalities in brain regions related to processing fear and emotions, such as the orbitofrontal cortex and the basal ganglia, have been linked to OCD. Imbalances in serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, may also contribute to the development of OCD symptoms.

  • Environmental Factors: Stressful or traumatic life events, childhood abuse, or major changes in life can trigger or worsen OCD symptoms in some individuals. LGBTQ+ individuals may face unique stressors such as societal discrimination, stigma, or experiences of trauma related to their identity. These stressors can exacerbate or trigger OCD symptoms.

  • Personality Traits: Certain personality traits, like perfectionism, high levels of anxiety, and a need for control, can make a person more susceptible to developing OCD.

At Society Wellness, we understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals with OCD. Our tailored treatment programs address these specific needs, providing a supportive and inclusive environment to help manage symptoms and navigate the complexities of both OCD and LGBTQ+ identity.

Different Types of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD presents in various forms, each with unique symptoms:

  • Contamination OCD: Fear of germs or dirt leads to excessive cleaning and avoidance behaviors.
  • Checking OCD: Repeated checking of locks, appliances, or tasks to prevent harm or mistakes.
  • Symmetry and Ordering OCD: Compulsive arranging or ordering of items to achieve balance or symmetry.
  • Intrusive Thoughts OCD: Distressing, unwanted thoughts about harming others or other taboo subjects.
  • Hoarding OCD: Excessive accumulation of items due to fear of losing important things.
  • Mental Compulsions OCD: Performing mental rituals, like counting or praying, to reduce anxiety.
  • Sexual and Religious OCD: Obsessive doubts about sexual orientation or religious beliefs, leading to compulsive behaviors.

At Society Wellness, we offer tailored treatments for each type of OCD, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their lives.
