OCD Q & A
What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common and often long-lasting condition that involves a pattern of intrusive, irrational thoughts or fears (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that you feel the need to repeat. You may experience symptoms of obsessions, compulsions, or both.
Obsessions are repeated thoughts, urges, or mental images that cause anxiety and distress. Common obsessions include an intense fear of germs and thoughts of harming yourself or others. You may feel the need to perform certain compulsive behaviors to alleviate the anxiety, such as washing your hands until the skin is raw.
When you have OCD, these symptoms consume hours of your time and prevent you from leading a normal life. Without treatment, OCD can interfere with work, school, and social relationships.
How does ketamine infusion therapy help OCD?
Doctors have been using ketamine as a safe and effective anesthetic medication since the ’60s. Now, ketamine provides rapid relief to people with treatment-resistant psychiatric and neurological disorders, including OCD, depression, and suicidality.
Ketamine infusion therapy delivers a low dose of this medication intravenously while you relax in a comfortable and peaceful setting. Your compassionate provider at the Ketamine Clinic of Spokane stays with you during and after treatment to ensure your safety.
