What Is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition where a person experiences unwanted, repeated thoughts, images, or urges (called obsessions) that feel intrusive and distressing. These are not just everyday worries—they interfere with normal thinking and daily life.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) can help. By targeting both the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the brain, rTMS helps calm brain activity, reducing anxiety and easing the repetitive thoughts that drive compulsive behaviors.

The Compulsive Behaviors of OCD
People with OCD often try to push these thoughts away, but usually can’t. To cope with the anxiety caused by obsessions, they may feel driven to perform certain actions over and over (called compulsions). Common compulsions include:
- Washing hands repeatedly
- Counting things
- Checking locks or appliances over and over
- Repeating words silently
- Other repetitive actions that feel impossible to resist
