OCD is a mental health condition characterized by the presence of persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) that an individual feels compelled to perform in response to these thoughts. In Canada, OCD is recognized as a significant mental health disorder that affects individuals across all demographics, including children, adolescents, and adults.
OCD is often treated through a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
