“I have thoughts that keep repeating and I cannot stop them.”
OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is treatable. We offer scientific, safe treatments, validated by multiple clinical studies, with psychiatric and psychological follow-up.
Intrusive thoughts, repeated rituals.
Thoughts, images or urges that arise repeatedly and involuntarily and cause anxiety or discomfort. These are called obsessions.
Repeated behaviours or mental acts to relieve that anxiety, even knowing they make no sense. These are called compulsions.
Some examples of rituals:
- Checking doors, gas or locks several times
- Excessive handwashing or cleaning
- Counting or repeating words in your head
- Ordering or lining up objects
- Seeking reassurance from other people
- Repeating actions until they "feel right"
OCD is a recognised clinical disorder. It can be diagnosed and treated.
When rituals start taking up your time.
- Thoughts or rituals that take up time every day.
- Avoiding certain places or activities to avoid the thoughts or rituals.
- Family routine organised around the rituals.
- Treatment already tried, without sufficient improvement.
It starts with a psychiatrist.
If you have had treatment before, bring your clinical reports and your medication list.

What people ask us about OCD.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No. You can book directly. If you have reports from previous treatments, bring them.
Is TMS right for me?
For OCD, TMS is an option when previous treatments are not enough. Treatment depends on eligibility and a medical prescription: the clinical director, Dr. Bruno Gomes, assesses eligibility at the TMS Assessment Consultation. To clear up any questions beforehand, start with NeuroCheck, free of charge.
What NeuroCheck involvesDo I have to stop the medication I take?
No. Do not stop or change your medication on your own. Any change is decided with your doctor.
Can someone come with me?
Yes, to the TMS Assessment Consultation and to treatment sessions. In psychology appointments, having a companion present is not always possible, so as not to interfere with the therapeutic work. Check with the team when booking.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Your clinical information belongs to you and we only share it with your authorisation.
