Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Break the Cycle, Today. Look, most think OCD is about neatness—it’s not. It’s a loop of relentless thoughts and actions that cage you. Signs? Intrusive fears—like germs devouring you, or fire if you don’t flip the stove ten times. Symptoms creep in: hours washing hands till they’re raw, checking locks obsessively, mind screaming but body trapped. Example—Sarah, thirty-two, from Delray, couldn’t stop picturing stabbing her son every time she held a knife. Compulsion? She counted backward from hundred before touching anything sharp. Met full DSM-five criteria: obsessions time-consuming, causing distress, not substance-driven, not another illness.

We did exposure therapy mixed with SSRIs—she faced the knife thought, let it rise, pass. Reduced checks from ninety to five a day in eight weeks. Another case: Tom, accountant, obsessed money would vanish—rechecked ledgers endlessly.
