Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can lead to distressing and repetitive thoughts and behaviors. Dr. Jerald Block at Diamond Edge TMS in Vancouver, WA, specializes in psychotherapy for OCD, offering tailored treatment plans based on his 25+ years of experience and psychoanalytic training.

Symptoms of OCD may include:

• Obsessive thoughts or fears that are unreasonable or excessive. Examples might be repetitive and uncomfortable thoughts of doing something “bad” coupled with fearing one’s loss of control. Or, commonly, intrusive thoughts of germs or contagion.   
• Compulsive behaviors, such as repetitive actions or rituals.  Often these are used to rid oneself of obsessive thoughts.  For example, excessive handwashing, lock checking, or counting behaviors 
• Difficulty controlling these thoughts and behaviors, even when they interfere with daily life
• Feeling increasingly anxious or distressed when unable to perform the compulsive behaviors

OCD is often responsive to medication or, if pills are not helping, can be treated with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) [link to TMS page]. Treatment is generally in-person, though we also have the ability to offer care via telehealth.
