🧠 OCD and Anxiety: Know the Signs & How We Help
Published by Dr. Debolina Chowdhury | Nirvana Clinic, Greater Noida
🔍 Understanding OCD and Anxiety – You're Not Alone
In today's fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But when thoughts start looping, and everyday tasks turn into rituals or panic triggers — you may be dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or an anxiety disorder. At Nirvana Clinic, Greater Noida, we specialize in identifying, diagnosing, and treating these conditions with empathy and science-backed care.
🧩 What is OCD?
OCD is a mental health condition where a person experiences persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and feels the urge to perform certain actions repeatedly (compulsions) to ease anxiety. It’s not just about being neat — it can disrupt work, relationships, and peace of mind.
📌 Common OCD Symptoms:
- Excessive cleaning or handwashing
- Checking locks, gas, or mobile apps repeatedly
- Obsessions about symmetry, numbers, or harm
- Mental rituals like counting or praying
- Distress if unable to complete a "ritual"
😟 What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is more than temporary worry. It becomes a problem when it persists, intensifies, or starts affecting your ability to function. You might feel nervous all the time, experience panic attacks, or avoid certain situations altogether.
📌 Common Anxiety Symptoms:
- Racing heart, sweating, shakiness
- Worrying excessively about health, work, or relationships
- Fear of social interactions or public speaking
- Trouble concentrating or sleeping
- Feeling tense or on edge all the time

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can OCD and anxiety happen together?
Yes, many patients experience overlapping symptoms. Both involve fear-based thoughts and physical restlessness, and treatment often addresses both conditions.
Do medications for OCD and anxiety cause sedation?
Some initial drowsiness can occur but usually settles. Our psychiatrist tailors doses to minimize side effects and monitor progress.
How many sessions of counselling are needed?
This depends on severity, insight, and response. Many patients see progress within 6–10 sessions when they are consistent with therapy.
