Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that affects individuals across various ages and life circumstances. This condition manifests as a cycle of persistent, unwanted thoughts, images, or impulses—termed obsessions—which can provoke profound distress. To mitigate this stress and anxiety, individuals with OCD often resort to repetitive behaviors or rituals, known as compulsions. However, these compulsions inadvertently perpetuate the OCD cycle. The intensity, frequency, and content of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can significantly vary.Therapists at MBD are thoroughly trained in providing online therapy for OCD for NJ teens and adults
