When do you need an OCD treatment center? Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental condition in which an individual performs specific actions repeatedly or has the same recurrent thoughts. These thoughts and actions are uncontrollable and often consume a significant amount of time such as washing one’s hands excessively. Most people with OCD realize that their actions and thoughts are irrational yet they are unable to avoid them. Besides being time-consuming, obsessive thoughts often trigger unwanted feelings such as anxiety or disgust.
People with OCD might also have a tic disorder. Motor tics are sudden uncontrollable movements, such as eye blinking and other eye movements, facial grimacing, shoulder shrugging, and head or shoulder jerking. Common vocal tics include throat clearing, Hissing, Sniffing, and Snorting. The risk factors for OCD include genetic factors, environmental factors, and factors related to the structure and function of the brain.
