Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterised by intrusive thoughts, images or urges (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions). Symptoms can cause significant distress and interfere with daily functioning. Assessment involves psychiatric evaluation and consideration of symptom severity. Treatment may include cognitive behavioural therapy and medication. Independent OCD Expert Witnesses can provide opinions on diagnosis, treatment, psychological injury, causation, functional impairment and prognosis in Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury proceedings.
