OCD Treatment in Kaithal — Expert Care for Intrusive Thoughts & Compulsive Behaviour
If unwanted thoughts keep looping, or certain rituals feel impossible to skip, you're not alone — and it's treatable. As an OCD specialist in Kaithal with 8+ years of experience, Dr. Arnav Puri offers structured, judgment-free treatment in person at the clinic or through an online consultation from anywhere in India.
What Is OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a mental health condition built around two connected parts: obsessions (unwanted, intrusive thoughts that cause distress) and compulsions (repetitive behaviours or mental rituals performed to ease that distress). It's more than being particular or liking things a certain way — OCD symptoms can take up hours of the day and significantly affect daily life.
As a psychiatrist for OCD in Kaithal, Dr. Puri helps patients understand that OCD is highly treatable. With the right combination of therapy and, where needed, medication, the cycle of obsessions and compulsions can genuinely be broken.
Common Signs & Symptoms of OCD
OCD symptoms vary widely from person to person. These are some of the most common patterns.
Intrusive Thoughts
Unwanted, distressing thoughts that repeat despite trying to ignore them.
Repetitive Behaviours
Checking, counting, or repeating actions to ease anxiety.
Excessive Cleaning
Washing or cleaning far beyond what's needed, driven by fear of contamination.
Checking Rituals
Repeatedly checking locks, switches, or appliances despite knowing they're fine.
Need for Symmetry
Discomfort until objects are arranged "just right."
Time-Consuming Rituals
Compulsions taking up an hour or more of the day.
Distress When Interrupted
Significant anxiety if a ritual is interrupted or skipped.
Avoidance
Avoiding people, places, or situations that trigger obsessive thoughts.
Types of OCD
OCD shows up differently depending on the person. Identifying the type helps shape the right treatment plan.
Causes & Risk Factors
There's rarely a single cause behind OCD. It usually develops from a mix of factors working together, rather than any one thing going "wrong."
- ✓ Genetic and family history of OCD or anxiety disorders
- ✓ Differences in brain structure and chemistry
- ✓ High stress periods or major life changes
- ✓ Childhood trauma or significant life events
- ✓ Personality traits such as perfectionism
