What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a type of mental health condition that affects your thoughts, behaviors, and daily functioning. You experience unwanted and repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and compulsions to perform certain actions to reduce anxiety. It is more than just being clean, neat or organised. When OCD becomes intense, simple daily routines such as working, studying, or interacting with other people can feel difficult to manage.
In Kerala, people may describe it as “overthinking,” “checking again and again,” or “fear-based habits,” but it is a recognized medical condition, not an individual weakness. Clinically, OCD is classified under the ICD-10 code F42. Globally, millions of people live with OCD. It is a common anxiety-related condition. The good news is that OCD is treatable with the right support, therapy and structured guidance.
