If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may experience unwanted or intrusive thoughts you can’t control. You might worry about being contaminated by germs, or compulsively check to make sure your fears won’t come true. And if you’re like many people struggling with OCD, your symptoms can leave you feeling trapped in a cycle of obsession, avoidance, and isolation. The good news is there is help.
