Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like being trapped in your own mind. Intrusive thoughts create intense fear or discomfort, and compulsive behaviors offer only brief relief — followed by more anxiety. At Amity Palm Beach, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for OCD and co-occurring mental health or substance use disorders.
We understand how exhausting the OCD cycle can be. That’s why we offer outpatient support designed to help you regain control, reduce anxiety, and build long-term coping strategies — all in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
What Is OCD?
OCD is a chronic mental health condition characterized by:
Obsessions — Unwanted, intrusive thoughts, urges, or fears
Compulsions — Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals aimed at reducing distress caused by obsessions
OCD can affect many areas of life — relationships, work, health, and daily functioning. It’s not about being “neat” or “quirky” — it’s a serious anxiety disorder that deserves expert care.
Common OCD themes include:
Fear of contamination or germs
Excessive doubts or need for reassurance
Intrusive violent, sexual, or religious thoughts
Preoccupation with order, symmetry, or numbers
Checking, cleaning, counting, or repeating rituals
Many individuals with OCD feel ashamed or isolated — but you are not alone, and you are not your thoughts.
OCD and Co-Occurring Conditions
It’s common for OCD to occur alongside other mental health challenges, such as:
Generalized anxiety disorder
Depression
Eating disorders
PTSD
Substance use disorders
Some individuals turn to alcohol or drugs to temporarily silence their obsessions or ease anxiety, which can lead to a harmful cycle of dependence. At Amity Palm Beach, our dual diagnosis approach treats both OCD and any co-occurring conditions together — for more sustainable, integrated healing.
