Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Insight into the Cycle of Obsessions and Compulsions
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition marked by a repetitive cycle of intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and ritualistic behaviors or mental acts (compulsions).
These patterns can severely disrupt daily life, cause emotional distress, and impair relationships or academic/work performance. Common obsessions may involve fear of contamination, unwanted thoughts, or a need for symmetry, while compulsions might include excessive cleaning, checking, or counting.
Dr. Sathiya Ganesan emphasizes early identification and the importance of understanding OCD as a treatable condition. Her approach demystifies the disorder, reducing stigma and encouraging individuals and families to seek timely and effective support.
Accurate Diagnosis & Personalized Assessment
Dr. Ganesan conducts a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that includes structured clinical interviews, family history, and behavioral assessments. This process helps distinguish OCD from overlapping conditions such as generalized anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, or tic disorders. Early and accurate diagnosis is the foundation for an effective treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy
ERP is considered the gold standard for treating OCD. Dr. Ganesan guides patients through a safe, systematic process of facing their fears while resisting compulsive responses. Over time, this evidence-based therapy reduces the power of obsessions and allows patients to regain control of their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Tailored for OCD
Dr. Ganesan combines traditional CBT with OCD-specific approaches to help patients identify irrational thoughts and reshape them into healthier, more rational beliefs. This therapy promotes long-term improvement in managing obsessions and compulsions.
Medication Management with Psychiatric Expertise
When appropriate, Dr. Ganesan prescribes medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or other evidence-supported treatments. She closely monitors progress, adjusts dosages, and ensures that side effects are managed effectively.
Family Education, Support & Counseling
Families play a crucial role in OCD recovery. Dr. Ganesan offers psychoeducation sessions that help loved ones understand OCD dynamics and support recovery without reinforcing symptoms. She fosters a collaborative family environment that contributes positively to healing.
Advanced Telepsychiatry & Continued Support
To accommodate diverse needs and ensure continuity of care, Dr. Ganesan offers secure telehealth appointments. This enables individuals to receive consistent, high-quality care from the comfort of their homes, especially beneficial for those with severe OCD or mobility limitations.
Dr Sathiya Ganesan’s goal is to empower patients with tools to manage OCD independently while offering a safe space for emotional healing and support.
