Have you or a loved one been experiencing obsessions, overeating, or difficulty falling asleep?

These symptoms can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, they can be managed.

Understanding These Conditions

Some mental health conditions don’t always fit neatly into “mood” or “anxiety” categories, but they still have a major impact on daily life. These include Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), eating disorders, and sleep-wake disorders.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Obsessions: unwanted, repeated thoughts that cause distress (e.g., fear of germs, needing things to be “just right”).
  • Compulsions: repetitive behaviors or rituals (e.g., handwashing, checking, counting) that temporarily relieve anxiety but interfere with life.
  • Impact: feeling trapped in a cycle that consumes hours of your day.

Eating Disorders

  • Anorexia Nervosa: extreme restriction of food intake, fear of weight gain, distorted body image.
  • Bulimia Nervosa: cycles of binge eating followed by purging (vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercise).
  • Binge Eating Disorder: frequent episodes of eating large amounts of food with loss of control, often followed by shame or guilt.
  • Impact: low energy, poor health, and disrupted self-esteem.

Sleep-Wake Disorders

  • Insomnia: difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early.
  • Hypersomnia: excessive daytime sleepiness, trouble staying awake.
  • Circadian Rhythm Disorders: sleep schedule out of sync with daily life (e.g., shift work disorder, delayed sleep phase).
  • Impact: poor focus, irritability, fatigue, and worsening of anxiety or depression.

If these symptoms are persistent, disruptive, or causing distress, early evaluation and treatment are critical.
