OCD Treatment in New Jersey

Expert, Evidence-Based Help

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition (with early life onset) that causes unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These patterns disrupt the personal, professional, and domestic aspects of patients’ lives.

Without professional support, this cycle of obsessions and compulsions can become unmanageable. Capital Psychiatry Group provides trusted and evidence-based OCD treatment across New Jersey via in-person clinics and telepsychiatry.

OCD Controls Your Day, Let’s Break the Cycle with CPG

OCD affects 2% to 3% of the U.S. population. It is a cycle of unwanted thoughts and exhausting ritual behaviors. You might be stuck in checking the door, constantly washing hands, or trying to silence your thoughts.

The board-certified psychiatrists and psychologists of Capital Psychiatry Group provide personalized, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Whether you are struggling to take control of your thoughts or manage compulsion, our outpatient mental health clinics in New Jersey are always within reach with same-day appointments.

Recognizing the Symptoms of OCD

What seems like a habit or routine may be your child’s way of coping with OCD. Its symptoms don’t always look extreme; it can start with subtle signs. Recognizing the signs early is key to getting effective help.

Symptoms of OCD Obsessions

Obsessions are intrusive thoughts, urges, or mental images that create intense distress or anxiety. Common obsessive symptoms include:

Fear of contamination by germs, dirt, or illness
Intrusive and disturbing graphic visions or thoughts
Unwanted religious or blasphemous thoughts
Extreme need for symmetry, precision, or exactness
Unwanted thoughts of violent behaviour toward yourself or others

Symptoms of OCD Compulsions

Compulsions are repetitive behaviors performed to reduce the anxiety caused by OCD obsessions. Common symptoms of OCD compulsions include:

Excessive hand washing, showering, or cleaning
Repeated checking of locks, appliances, or switches
Counting, tapping, or repeating words in a specific pattern
Seeking reassurance from others over and over
Holding onto items or avoiding tasks for fear of harm
