OCD is a profound neurobiological condition, not a personality trait or a preference for order. It is characterised by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that trigger intense anxiety, leading to repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) performed in an attempt to neutralise that distress.
"At The Burlington Clinic, we provide a discreet, consultant-led environment where we treat the most complex forms of OCD, moving beyond the 'cycle' toward clinical stability."
Neurobiology
OCD is often described as a biological 'hiccup' within the CSTC loop — the brain's pathway responsible for checking for danger. In an affected brain, the 'alarm' stays on, and the ability to switch thoughts becomes biologically impaired.
