OCD is a disruptive, chronic mental health condition characterized by uncontrollable, recurring thoughts and repetitive, ritualistic behaviors. OCD<\/a><\/span> ranges in severity but often becomes worse and more disruptive when left untreated.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are the signs of OCD?” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]OCD causes obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are repeated, intrusive, and distressing thoughts, urges, or mental images. Compulsions are repetitive, ritualistic behaviors that temporarily soothe your negative thoughts. <\/p>\n

Some common types of obsessions include fear of germs or contamination, intense need for symmetry or order, unwanted taboo thoughts, and aggression. <\/p>\n

Compulsions can include cleaning yourself or your home, counting, touching, checking, and repeating words or phrases silently or aloud. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that almost everyone double-checks things sometimes. OCD causes uncontrollable thoughts and actions that can interfere with your ability to function in your day-to-day life. <\/p>\n

If you have OCD, you typically spend an hour or more every day on your obsessions or compulsions. Also, OCD is usually distressing; you don\u2019t derive pleasure from completing your compulsions, just temporary relief. [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When should I talk to a doctor about OCD?” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]While everyone has repeated thoughts and behaviors, you should talk to a doctor if your symptoms interfere with your ability to function and your quality of life. <\/p>\n

For example, if you spend so much time on your compulsive behaviors that you can\u2019t go to work or socialize with loved ones, it\u2019s time to get help.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does ketamine infusion therapy treat OCD?” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]OCD, like many mental health conditions, can be challenging to treat. Dr. Mukalel provides infusion therapy as an alternative or supplement to traditional treatments. <\/p>\n

Ketamine works differently than conventional medication for OCD and other mental health issues. Instead of targeting your serotonin or dopamine receptors, ketamine targets your N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. <\/p>\n

Your symptoms may subside after just one treatment, but most patients have a series of infusions for optimal results. [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What should I expect during ketamine infusion therapy?” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Ketamine infusion therapy is a soothing and relaxing experience. While under the supervision of Dr. Mukalel or another clinical team member, you rest in a comfortable chair to receive your infusion.<\/p>\n

You might feel sleepy, tingly, or even have a floating \u201cout-of-body\u201d sensation during your infusion. A friend or family member should drive you home after your treatment as you might have lingering grogginess. <\/p>\n

If you have OCD and want to find out if ketamine infusion therapy is right for you, call InfusionMD or make an appointment online today.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#EDEDED” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#5277AD” header_3_text_color=”#6A6B6C” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
