OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD)

OCD is a persistent, time-consuming condition that can significantly interfere with daily life. At Interventional Psychiatry Group, we help patients regain control through thoughtful, evidence-based care.
 
What is OCD?
OCD is characterized by obsessions (unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges) and/or compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts) aimed at reducing anxiety.
Examples include excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or mental rituals. OCD symptoms cause significant distress and functional impairment.
 
How is OCD diagnosed?
Our providers diagnose OCD by listening to your symptoms and history, with consideration for medical and genetic factors.
 
What treatments help manage OCD?
First-line treatments include medication (e.g., SSRIs) and psychotherapy (especially Exposure and Response Prevention). We also offer:

  • GeneSight® testing for personalized medication planning.
  • BrainsWay Deep TMS™, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that targets brain areas implicated in OCD.
  • Exposure therapy.

OCD can make life feel overwhelming, but help is available. Call Interventional Psychiatry Group at 901-752-4900 to schedule an evaluation, or request an evaluation online.
