OCD Treatment in Dublin
Find relief from intrusive thoughts and compulsions—take back control of your life.
What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition that involves persistent, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These compulsions are performed in an effort to reduce anxiety or prevent perceived harm, but they often reinforce the cycle of obsessive thinking. OCD can take a major toll on work, relationships, and overall quality of life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
At StrIVeMD Wellness in Dublin, we recognize that OCD is more than just a habit or personality trait—it’s a neurological condition linked to dysfunctional brain circuits and imbalances in key neurotransmitters. While traditional treatments like SSRIs and therapy can be helpful for some, others continue to struggle with treatment-resistant OCD. That’s why we offer ketamine therapy, a breakthrough treatment that helps rewire neural pathways, interrupt obsessive thought loops, and provide rapid relief for individuals who haven’t found success with standard approaches.
Do I Have OCD?
Intrusive & Repetitive Thoughts
You experience unwanted, persistent thoughts that cause intense anxiety—whether it’s a fear of contamination, intrusive doubts, or distressing mental images.
Compulsions & Ritualistic Behaviors
You engage in repetitive behaviors—such as excessive hand-washing, checking, counting, or organizing—to relieve anxiety, even when you recognize they’re excessive.
Overwhelming Anxiety & Emotional Distress
OCD can create a cycle of fear and temporary relief, leading to frustration, exhaustion, and heightened stress responses.
Difficulty Functioning in Daily Life
Obsessions and compulsions consume hours of your day, making it difficult to focus at work, maintain social relationships, or feel at ease in daily situations.
