OCD
Intrusive thoughts paired with repetitive behaviors performed to relieve distress.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is driven by unwanted intrusive thoughts and the rituals people use to neutralize them. It is often misunderstood as a preference for tidiness, when in reality it can consume hours of a person's day.
Treatment typically combines medication with exposure and response prevention therapy. For patients who do not respond adequately, NeuroStar® TMS is FDA-cleared as an adjunct treatment for OCD.
