Empowered Healing. True Testimonials.

A scientific approach, informed, open-minded, fresh, and not limited to standard medical orthodoxies. She is smart enough to mix naturopathic and traditional medicine and prove their effectiveness; humble enough to follow true and open-minded scientific practices in her treatment decisions. I especially love her sunny smiles and the good spirit that pervades her clinic. I have discovered the power of integrative medicine as practiced by someone who knows me and cares about me as an individual.

My first appointment proved to be a great experience. Dr Ferreira was attentive, understanding, kind, empathetic and she truly listens. You don’t feel rushed at all. She took her time to go over results, explaining, giving me reassurance and peace of mind. I felt comfortable with her as soon as she introduced herself. I love her approach to natural medicine and alternatives. I would definitely recommend her.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) features a pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress.

You may try to ignore or stop your obsessions, but that only increases your distress and anxiety. Ultimately, you feel driven to perform compulsive acts to try to ease your stress. Despite efforts to ignore or get rid of bothersome thoughts or urges, they keep coming back. This leads to more ritualistic behavior — the vicious cycle of OCD.

OCD often centers around certain themes — for example, an excessive fear of getting contaminated by germs. To ease your contamination fears, you may compulsively wash your hands until they're sore and chapped.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder usually includes both obsessions and compulsions. But it's also possible to have only obsession symptoms or only compulsion symptoms. You may or may not realize that your obsessions and compulsions are excessive or unreasonable, but they take up a great deal of time and interfere with your daily routine and social, school or work functioning.

If you have OCD, you may be ashamed and embarrassed about the condition, but treatment can be effective.

There's a difference between being a perfectionist — someone who requires flawless results or performance, for example — and having OCD.
OCD thoughts aren't simply excessive worries about real problems in your life or liking to have things clean or arranged in a specific way.

If your obsessions and compulsions are affecting your quality of life, see your doctor or mental health professional.
