What Is OCD?

OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, is one of the types of anxiety disorders. It is defined by excessive thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors. In many cases, patients experience significant fear of an adverse event that will occur if they do not do something in a specific way or number of times. Often, symptoms are very mild initially but become more severe over time.

Patients suffering from OCD are generally prescribed medication to help with their symptoms and usually go through talk therapy, as well. However, for many people, these treatments are not enough to restore their quality of life. Ketamine therapy has shown a marked ability to reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsions, as well as other symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and more.
