Quick Self-Check
Could OCD Be Behind What You've Been Feeling?
Repeating the same checks, stuck on the same intrusive thought, or rituals eating up hours of your day? A brief, private questionnaire can bring clarity.
Just a few questions and two minutes of your time. This OCD screening test won’t diagnose you; it simply points to the most sensible next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OCD just about cleanliness or being organised?
No. OCD involves intrusive, distressing thoughts and compulsive behaviours that go far beyond tidiness, and it can centre on many different themes.
Can OCD be managed without medication?
Yes. Many patients see significant improvement through specialised therapy alone, with medication considered only where clinically appropriate.
How long does OCD treatment typically take?
Progress varies, but many patients notice a meaningful reduction in symptoms within a few months of consistent, targeted therapy.
Will I have to face my triggers directly during therapy?
Exposure-based techniques are introduced gradually, and only at a pace you’re comfortable with, never forced.
