Obsessive Compulsive Disorder




If they develop an obsession with intruders, they may lock and re lock their doors many times before going to bed.


Performing such rituals is not pleasurable. At best, it produces temporary relief from the anxiety created by obsessive thoughts. Most of the time, the rituals end up controlling them. If you are experiencing these symptoms do not have to continue suffering.

Come to Open Mind, and with great understanding our therapists will help you overcome these difficulties.


Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 




PTSD symptoms seem to be worse if another person, as in a mugging or a kidnapping, deliberately initiated the event that triggered them. Most people with PTSD repeatedly relive the trauma in their thoughts during the day and in nightmares when they sleep.
