A Deep Dive into OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is more than just being neat or organized. It is a cycle of unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform.
At Options Psychiatry, we understand the distress that OCD causes. Our specialized treatment focuses on breaking the cycle, reducing the frequency of intrusive thoughts, and helping you regain control over your life.
Early Warning Signs of OCD
OCD often begins with subtle intrusive thoughts or small rituals. Recognizing these patterns early can help prevent them from becoming overwhelming life obstacles.
Excessive Cleaning
Washing hands or scrubbing surfaces until they feel perfectly clean or germ-free.
Checking Rituals
Repeatedly verifying locks, stoves, or switches to prevent perceived disasters.
Symmetry & Order
An intense need for items to be arranged in a specific, precise, or balanced way.
Intrusive Thoughts
Unwanted, distressing thoughts that feel impossible to ignore or suppress.
How OCD Manifests
OCD symptoms involve a cycle of distressing thoughts and reactive behaviors that can consume hours of your day.
Obsessions
Persistent, unwanted thoughts, urges, or images that cause significant anxiety or distress.
Compulsions
Repetitive actions or mental acts performed to neutralize the anxiety caused by obsessions.
Emotional Impact
Feeling trapped by rituals and experiencing significant distress when they are interrupted or not perfect.
Common Types of OCD
OCD presents in many forms, each requiring a tailored understanding for effective treatment.
Checking OCD

Contamination OCD
A deep fear of germs, dirt, or illness leading to excessive cleaning and avoidance of dirty objects.
Symmetry & Ordering

Ruminations

OCD Care FAQ
TMS for OCD uses specialized protocols to target the medial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex—the areas of the brain that are overstimulated in people with OCD. By calming these areas, we can reduce intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges.
Most OCD treatment sessions last about 18-20 minutes. It's an outpatient procedure, meaning you can drive yourself home and resume your normal activities immediately after each session.
Many insurance plans are beginning to cover TMS for OCD as it is FDA-cleared. Our team will perform a thorough benefit verification to help you understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
