Perinatal Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

​

Perinatal OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) affects 2-3% of women with repeated, unwanted thoughts - obsessions – about their baby’s or others’ safety. This causes anxiety leading to
compulsive behaviours, like performing rituals or checking things, which ‘have’ to be done to feel better, if only in the short term.
The right treatment of OCD can make a huge difference.
