Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Symptoms

Sufferers of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are controlled by devastating anxiety that drives them to particular behaviors. They endure recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas, or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). OCD can have debilitating life effects.

OCD presents itself in many guises, and certainly goes far beyond the common misconception that it is merely a little hand washing or checking light switches.

Although there are infinite forms of OCD, most fall into one of five main categories, with themes often overlapping:

Checking
Contamination / Mental Contamination
Symmetry and ordering
Ruminations / Intrusive Thoughts
Hoarding

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
