Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
features a pattern of unwanted thoughts, fears, and impulses known as obsessions. These thoughts are intrusive, concerning, and can occupy your mental energy day to day. These obsessions lead you to do repetitive behaviors, also called compulsions. Compulsions help neutralize the fear and lessen the anxiety temporarily. These obsessions and compulsions get in the way of daily activities and cause a lot of distress.

Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRBs)
are a group of behaviors where a person repeatedly damages their own body—most commonly through hair pulling (Trichotillomania) or skin picking (Excoriation Disorder). These behaviors are often done in response to tension, boredom, or stress, and can bring a sense of relief or satisfaction. However, they often lead to noticeable physical damage, shame, and interference with daily life. Individuals may struggle to stop despite repeated attempts and experience significant distress about the behavior.

School Refusal and School Avoidance
refers to difficulty attending or staying at school due to emotional distress, often linked to anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges. Children and adolescents may experience intense fear, somatic complaints (like headaches or stomachaches), or panic symptoms at the thought of going to school. This is not simply truancy—it’s driven by underlying emotional struggles and can significantly disrupt academic progress, peer relationships, and family functioning. Effective treatment focuses on identifying the root causes and gradually helping the student return to regular attendance through structured support and collaboration with families and schools.
