Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a complex mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) that individuals feel compelled to perform. OCD is influenced not only by psychological patterns but also by underlying imbalances in the brain, body, and lifestyle. Factors such as inflammation, gut health, trauma, and chronic stress can contribute to how symptoms manifest.

A holistic approach to treating OCD combines traditional therapies, like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and medication, with complementary practices. These may include mindfulness, nutritional support, lifestyle changes, and mind-body techniques to help restore balance and promote long-term healing.
