In this new series, we are going to talk about the similarities and differences between OCD and Addiction. OCD is a mental health disorder in which people have recurring unwanted thoughts called obsessions, that produce anxiety and they engage in ritualistic behaviors called compulsions to neutralize their unwanted feelings.
Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness.
Additionally, many OCD sufferers resort to drug or alcohol abuse as a coping mechanism for their OCD. So in this episode, we are going to talk about their similarities with both disorders as they can exist as it is important to understand these two disorders and how they overlap to move towards recovery.
