The OCD Cycle: Trigger → Obsession → Anxiety → Compulsion → Temporary Relief explains how Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can create a repeating cycle of distress and repetitive behaviours. The infographic breaks down five key stages—triggers, unwanted obsessions, anxiety, compulsions, and temporary relief—using simple examples such as repeated checking, cleaning, reassurance-seeking, counting, and mental reviewing.
It also highlights common OCD experiences, explains why the cycle can continue, and emphasizes that OCD is more than simply being neat or organized. The infographic introduces evidence-based psychotherapy and explains how OCD Treatment in Ontario may involve an individualized assessment and treatment plan based on a person's symptoms, needs, and goals.
