What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterised by unwanted, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions). These symptoms can interfere with daily life, relationships, and wellbeing. While many people may experience occasional intrusive thoughts, OCD involves intense patterns that are difficult to control without professional OCD treatment.
Common OCD themes include:
- Fear of contamination or germs
- Need for symmetry or exactness
- Doubts about safety (e.g., “Did I lock the door?”)
- Intrusive or taboo thoughts
- Compulsive checking, cleaning, counting, or repeating actions
At YourOnlinePsychologist, we understand how overwhelming OCD can be. That’s why our online OCD therapy focuses on evidence-based techniques tailored to your needs.

Diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
A psychologist, psychiatrist or other licensed mental health professional is required to diagnose OCD. Using a manual such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a diagnosis will be made through an assessment of feelings, thoughts and behaviours.
To be diagnosed with OCD a person must have either or both obsessions or compulsions that:
- Takes up a significant part of your day (1 hour or more)
- Is recognised as excessive
- Interferes with normal daily activities
- Causes significant distress
Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
OCD is most commonly treated with psychological therapies such as cognitive behaviour therapy – a method that slowly alters thinking patterns into healthier behaviours – and exposure and response prevention – a method that slowly and safely uses images, thoughts or objects of obsession to desensitise a person to their compulsions and worry. In some cases medication may also be used to assist in the treatment of OCD.
