Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is usually triggered when a person has faced traumatic event. Their primitive mind takes over and creates an inappropriate coping strategy becoming the default response to future negative triggers. This can lead to the person experiencing intense and insistent thoughts which have a significant impact on their life. The obsessive thoughts are followed by repetitive compulsions or urges. These thoughts cause the person a great deal of distress because if they fail to act on these thoughts, they or those nearest to them are at risk.

People with OCD are aware that their thoughts are irrational. However, they’re driven to carry out compulsive behaviours and rituals believing this relieve them of the anxiety causing unwanted thoughts.
