OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER AND HOMEOPATHY: A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
Shivani Sharma, Shalu Munjal
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic psychiatric condition marked by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that disrupt daily life. Conventional treatments, including Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), provide partial relief but often come with side effects and limitations. Homeopathy, a holistic system of medicine, focuses on treating the individual constitutionally by addressing both psychological and physical symptoms. This article explores the causes, pathophysiology, symptoms, daily life impact, and the role of homeopathic remedies in OCD management.
