We often hear the term “OCD” used to describe being tidy or organized, but the reality of the disorder goes far beyond a clean desk.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a cycle of intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform to ease their anxiety.
OCD is not a choice or a quirk, it can be exhausting and life-altering. Understanding the difference helps us support those around us with more empathy and less judgment. 💙
