OCD Treatment

Effective Care for Obsessive Thoughts and Compulsive Behaviours

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by unwanted repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions or rituals (compulsions). These symptoms can cause significant distress and interfere with daily activities, relationships, work, and overall quality of life. At Sri Kiran Neuro Psychiatry & Skin Centre, we provide specialized OCD treatment focused on helping individuals gain control over their thoughts and behaviours.

• Repetitive unwanted thoughts or fears

• Repeated hand washing or cleaning rituals
• Obsession with order, symmetry, or perfection
• Intrusive thoughts causing anxiety or distress
• Repetitive counting or arranging behaviours
• Difficulty controlling compulsive actions
