What Is OCD?
OCD is a psychiatric condition characterized by:
- Obsessions: Repeated, unwanted thoughts, urges, or fears that cause distress (e.g., fear of contamination, doubts about safety, fear of losing control)
- Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce anxiety caused by the obsessions (e.g., handwashing, checking, counting, arranging)
These patterns can consume hours daily, severely impacting one’s personal, academic, or professional life.
Common Types of OCD
OCD can manifest in various forms, including:
- Fear of germs or contamination
- Checking doors, locks, or appliances repeatedly
- Intrusive aggressive or taboo thoughts
- Ordering or arranging things symmetrically
- Obsession with numbers, counting, or repetition
- Excessive reassurance seeking

When to See a Psychiatrist
You should consult a psychiatrist if you or a loved one:
- Spends more than one hour a day on obsessive thoughts or compulsive actions
- Feels unable to control repetitive thoughts or behaviors
- Avoids situations due to fear of triggering obsessions
- Experiences distress, shame, or functional impairment due to OCD
- Has tried to stop but experiences a return of symptoms
Early diagnosis and structured therapy can lead to lasting improvement.
Dr. Somil Savla’s OCD Treatment Approach
Dr. Savla offers a structured, multi-modal treatment plan that addresses both the emotional and behavioral aspects of OCD.
1. Diagnostic Assessment
Detailed history-taking and symptom mapping using standardized psychiatric tools to identify OCD type and severity.
2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with ERP
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—a gold standard in OCD treatment—is used to gradually reduce compulsions and help patients confront fears without rituals.
3. Medication (If Necessary)
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are prescribed for moderate to severe OCD, carefully monitored for side effects and response.
4. Psychoeducation and Relapse Prevention
Helping patients and families understand OCD, manage triggers, and sustain recovery over time.
5. Follow-Up and Long-Term Support
Regular check-ins to ensure continued progress, adjust treatment as needed, and build long-term coping strategies.
