OCD Isn’t Just About Cleanliness: Busting Myths & Getting Help in Georgia

OCD Is More Than Just Being “Neat”

In pop culture, OCD is often portrayed as a love of cleaning or organization—but for those truly living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, it’s a cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can be overwhelming.

At Jehovah’s Behavioral Care in Lilburn, Georgia, we aim to educate and support those affected by this misunderstood condition.

Common Symptoms of OCD

  • Persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions)

  • Repetitive behaviors (compulsions) to “neutralize” these thoughts

  • Fear of contamination, harm, or making mistakes

  • Checking, counting, or repeating rituals

OCD can affect anyone, regardless of age or background—and it’s treatable.
