Obsessive-compulsive disorder

This project, developed within the scope of a Degree in Communication and Audiovisual Design, aims to develop a mobile application complementary to psychotherapy, namely cognitive-behavioral therapy, in contexts of the treatment of anxiety disorders, with special focus on obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a disease that often becomes debilitating and is characterized by the appearance of recurrent and unwanted thoughts (obsessions), causing anxiety that tries to be combated by the patient through repetitive, irrational, and ritualistic behaviors (compulsions), which keep you stuck in this cycle of anxiety.
Even though it is considered a chronic condition, psychotherapy has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms, to very low levels, allowing patients to have happy and fulfilling lives. However, even if showing very positive results, the therapeutic process can be intense, tiring and exhausting.
Therefore, it is intended to develop a mobile application that helps not only patients but also psychologists and therapists, facilitating and streamlining this process. The application will organize, condense, and simplify the various tools most commonly used in this context. It is expected that, in addition to supporting therapy, the application will also serve, in a way, as an informational and educational platform, destigmatizing this condition that is still the target of numerous myths and misconceptions, which are harmful to the diagnosis and acceptance of the condition by part of those who suffer from it.
