Break Free From Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsive Cycles With Personalized OCD Care
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition where individuals experience intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and feel compelled to perform repetitive behaviors (compulsions) to relieve the anxiety they cause. Left untreated, OCD can severely impact day-to-day functioning, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. At Calida Rehab, we provide evidence-based and compassionate OCD treatment tailored to each individual’s needs, helping them regain clarity, confidence, and control.
Our world-class rehab centers in Pune, Mumbai, and Karjat offer a secure, non-judgmental space for healing. Whether you have been recently diagnosed or have struggled for years, our multidisciplinary team supports your journey to recovery every step of the way.
What Is OCD?
OCD is not just about cleanliness or order—it’s a serious anxiety disorder where unwanted, intrusive thoughts trigger intense distress, leading to compulsive behaviors aimed at preventing harm or reducing anxiety.
-
Fear of contamination or illness
-
Fear of harming others or self
-
Intrusive sexual, violent, or religious thoughts
-
Need for symmetry or exactness
-
Doubts about safety (e.g., Did I lock the door?)
-
Excessive washing or cleaning
-
Repeating actions (e.g., turning lights on/off)
-
Checking things repeatedly
-
Mental rituals (e.g., counting, praying)
-
Arranging objects in a particular order
These patterns are time-consuming and often distressing, but they are treatable with the right care.
Causes and Risk Factors
While the exact cause of OCD remains unclear, it is believed to result from a combination of factors:
-
Genetic predisposition
-
Brain chemistry and structural differences
-
Childhood trauma or chronic stress
-
Personality traits like perfectionism or high anxiety
-
Family history of OCD or anxiety disorders
At Calida Rehab, we assess these contributing factors and build a treatment plan that addresses both symptoms and underlying causes.
Our Comprehensive Approach to OCD Treatment
Our OCD treatment programs blend cognitive restructuring, exposure-based therapy, and emotional resilience training. Every plan is uniquely tailored and evolves with your progress.
-
In-depth interviews and diagnostic scales (e.g., Y-BOCS)
-
Screening for comorbidities (e.g., depression, GAD, BDD)

While not mandatory, many benefit from medication alongside therapy. Common options include:

Psychiatrists at Calida Rehab customize medications carefully and monitor for side effects and response.
