Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment & Support

Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition marked by:

  • Obsessions — intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that cause distress
  • Compulsions — repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce anxiety linked to obsessions


People with OCD often recognize these thoughts and behaviors as unreasonable, yet feel compelled to act on them to find temporary relief.


At Dr. Rishikesh Behere’s Clinic, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help you regain control and live with greater peace and clarity.

Who OCD Affects

OCD can begin at any age, commonly appearing in adolescence or early  adulthood. It affects people from all walks of life—yet many suffer silently due to stigma or misunderstanding. Common OCD themes include:


• Fear of contamination and excessive cleaning
• Need for symmetry, order, or exactness
• Checking behaviors (doors, lights, locks)
• Intrusive unwanted thoughts (aggressive, taboo, or religious)
• Counting, arranging, repeating rituals

Signs & Symptoms

Symptoms vary across individuals, but many experience:


✔ Persistent, unwanted thoughts that cause anxiety
✔ Urges to perform repetitive rituals to ease discomfort
✔ Significant time spent on routines that interfere with daily life
✔ Avoidance of situations that trigger obsessive thoughts
✔ Distress that affects work, relationships, or wellbeing


If compulsions temporarily relieve anxiety but the cycle keeps returning, professional support can make a meaningful difference.

A trained therapist can help people make lifestyle changes. They can also help identify underlying causes of symptoms and provide strategies for changing unwanted thoughts and behaviors. Therapy can equip people with the skills to manage symptoms, reduce stress, and improve their quality of life.
