In recent years, I’ve seen a dramatic rise in clients struggling with behavioural addictions—especially social media, gaming, and compulsive phone use. What many people don’t realize is how closely these behaviours are tied to Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and OCD‑like patterns.

These addictions don’t just coexist with OCD.
They fuel it, intensify it, and make recovery harder.

Understanding this connection is the first step toward healing.
