OCD & Anxiety
Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) share similarities, but they are distinct conditions.
While anxiety involves excessive worry about real-life concerns,
OCD is characterized by
intrusive, irrational thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions)
as a way to ease distress.
Anxiety manifests in various
ways, from general feelings of
unease to specific phobias or
panic attacks. Worrying and
anxiety show up hand in hand,
but worry is not an emotion;
worry is the "thinking part
of anxiety".
How does it show up?
"Anxiety is extremely contagious, but so is calm." - Brene Brown
