OCD & Anxiety in Adults: Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Toronto
Living with both OCD and anxiety can feel like carrying two heavy loads, but you’re not alone. At our North York mental wellness clinic, we understand the unique challenges adults face when managing dual diagnoses. If you've noticed symptoms overlap and daily life feels overwhelming, specialized support is available in Toronto to bring hope and practical solutions.
Understanding Dual Diagnosis: OCD & Anxiety
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders often occur together in adults, complicating diagnosis and care. Both conditions share features of excessive worry and compulsive behaviors, making it essential for North York residents to seek assessment by a qualified mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
Why Integrated Treatment Matters in North York
Integrated treatment addresses both OCD and anxiety at the same time. At our North York clinic, experienced therapists use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). When needed, psychiatric assessment can provide further clarity and medication recommendations.
Counselling and Psychiatric Care Options
Counselling sessions focus on building skills to challenge obsessive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and manage anxiety triggers. For complex cases, psychiatric evaluations offer a deeper understanding. Learn more about our psychiatric assessment services in North York for residents seeking dual diagnosis care.
