Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Compassionate and Comprehensive Care for OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform. These symptoms can significantly disrupt everyday life, relationships, and overall well-being. 


Common obsessions include fears of contamination, causing harm, or making mistakes, while compulsions may involve excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or seeking reassurance. Without treatment, OCD can lead to severe anxiety and difficulty functioning in daily life.


Co-Occurring Conditions:


Many people with OCD also experience other mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety disorders, or tic disorders. Addressing these co-occurring conditions is an important part of comprehensive OCD care.


Early Recognition and Management:


OCD often begins in childhood or adolescence but can also emerge in adulthood. Symptoms and severity vary widely. Early recognition and prompt intervention improve outcomes, helping individuals regain control over their lives. With the right support, OCD symptoms can be managed, compulsions reduced, and quality of life greatly improved.


At Vital Psych MD, our care team is led by Dr. Kalvin Kapoor, a double board-certified psychiatrist with over 8 years of experience in treating OCD and related conditions. Our licensed therapists and psychiatric nurse practitioners collaborate to ensure each patient receives expert, evidence-based care.
