OCD Center of Los Angeles

OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. A very simple description of OCD is that it is a condition in which an individual experiences recurrent obsessions and/or compulsions. Obsessions are defined as repetitive thoughts, ideas, or impulses that an individual experiences as inappropriate, intrusive, and unwanted. Compulsions are defined as repetitive behaviors that an individual feels driven to perform in an effort to avoid or decrease the anxiety created by obsessions.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common and frequently debilitating condition. Fortunately, OCD is also a very treatable condition. The OCD Center of Los Angeles offers a highly specialized outpatient psychotherapy program designed specifically for the treatment of OCD and related disorders. Among the conditions they treat are:
