OCD Treatment in Kurukshetra — Breaking the Cycle of Obsessions & Compulsions
OCD is not about being tidy. It is a serious condition where intrusive thoughts cause intense anxiety, followed by compulsive behaviours performed to temporarily relieve it. The cycle is relentless — and it is treatable.
Quick Facts
What OCD Actually Is
OCD has two components that feed each other in a relentless cycle.
Involuntary, distressing thoughts around contamination, harm, symmetry, or religious/sexual themes. These are contrary to the person's actual values.
Washing, checking, counting, seeking reassurance — performed to temporarily neutralise the obsession's anxiety. They provide brief relief but strengthen the cycle.
Each compulsion reinforces the obsession. Without intervention, OCD typically worsens over time — not improves.
Many people with OCD hide their rituals for years before seeking help — out of shame or fear of being misunderstood.
How OCD Is Treated
OCD responds well to specialist treatment — particularly the combination of CBT-ERP and medication.
The gold standard for OCD. Gradually exposing the patient to anxiety-provoking situations while refraining from the compulsive response — teaching the brain that anxiety reduces on its own without the compulsion.
SSRIs are effective at reducing OCD severity, particularly in combination with therapy. Higher doses are often needed for OCD than for depression. Dr. Sobti manages this carefully.
Understanding OCD — why it happens and how the cycle works — is itself part of treatment. Patients who understand their condition manage it better.
Important: OCD is a recognised psychiatric disorder — not a personality trait or sign of weakness. People living with it deserve the same quality of care and compassion as anyone with a physical condition.
