Welcome to the OCD Center of Los Angeles Blog

Welcome to the OCD Center of Los Angeles blog.  The focus of our blog will be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety-based conditions, including:

• Social Anxiety / Social Phobia
• Hypochondria / Health Anxiety
• Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
• Panic Disorder
• Phobias
• Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling)
• Dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking)

We view this blog as an opportunity to provide our thoughts on relevant, timely issues related to the above conditions.  Topics may include interesting themes we see in our clinical practice, as well as relevant issues drawn from current events, such as recent swine flu concerns, news reports on Postpartum OCD legal cases, and recent reports of Social Anxiety cases in professional baseball.  Basically, anything related to OCD and other anxiety-based conditions that is relevant and worthwhile is open to discussion.

The OCD Center of Los Angeles is a private outpatient center specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of OCD and related conditions.  We have four therapists on staff, all of whom specialize in CBT, and all of whom will be contributing their insights to our blog.  In addition to individual therapy, we also offer ten therapy/support groups, six of which are specifically for adults, and four of which are exclusively for children and adolescents.
