OCD
Brain Bloom Neurotherapy Center
Overthinking and anxiety can be exhausting, we have the experience and patience to help you
Obsessions are troubling thoughts that persist in your mind, causing constant mental agitation and disrupting your peace.
Obsessions can manifest in various ways, such as an intense fear of germs or contamination, unwanted sexual or violent thoughts, religious guilt, a fear of losing control, or an excessive need for everything to be “just right.”
Compulsions, on the other hand, are repetitive acts that serve as rituals to alleviate high anxiety. The constant strain of overthinking, worry, and anxiety can be exhausting, leading to a state of mental anguish that can persist 24/7.
Compulsions can manifest in various ways, such as excessive handwashing or cleaning, checking doors, appliances, or locks repeatedly, repeating words, prayers, or phrases, arranging items until they feel “perfect,” or engaging in counting rituals or touching things a specific number of times. These behaviors are not driven by pleasure but rather serve as a means to avoid a perceived threat or impending doom.
We at Brain Bloom Neurotherapy Center can provide relief by combining Cognitive-Behavioral strategies, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and medications. Therapy for OCD is not a quick or easy process, but we have the experience and patience to help you work through it.
FDA has cleared TMS for the treatment of OCD.
Is Neurostar covered by insurance?
It takes the right team to battle depression.
TMS therapy is not one size fits all therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions About OCD Therapy & Treatments
Can Obsessive Compulsive Disorder cause physical symptoms?
Yes. Increased anxiety and hypervigilance are considered the major physical symptoms of OCD. These can lead to other symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, and constant fatigue.
How to know if my thoughts are OCD or not?
Ask yourself whether the feeling you suffer from follows a pattern, following the obsessive thought, intense anxiety, and then neutralizing rituals. Also, check for signals like excessive washing, cleaning, organizing, etc.
Does OCD make me doubt things I logically know are true?
Yes, it is a pretty common symptom of OCD patients. It involves high uncertainty, even when you intellectually understand that something is safe.
What treatments can be used to recover from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
At BrainBloom Neurotherapy Center, we offer obsessive-compulsive disorder treatments like TMS therapy, accelerated TMS therapy, CBT, and medication. These help reduce symptoms of the condition and get faster recovery.
Can OCD resurface after periods of improvement?
Yes. As OCD is a chronic condition, relapse or symptom resurfaces should always be expected, even after improvements. Obsessive compulsive disorder therapy can manage these, but cannot fully eliminate them.
