What does OCD stand for?

OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, a condition where people experience persistent obsessions and engage in compulsions to relieve anxiety. The name reflects the two main elements:
• Obsessive — intrusive thoughts or mental images that cause distress
• Compulsive — behaviours or mental rituals carried out to reduce distress
OCD can be treated effectively with structured therapy and, in some cases, medication.
