Does any of this feel familiar?

OCD involves unwanted thoughts and repeated actions or mental rituals that are hard to step away from. They take up time and cause distress.

You keep checking the same thing.

You’ve checked the lock or reread a message, but the doubt returns.

Unwanted thoughts keep coming back.

You try to move on, but the thoughts interrupt what you’re doing.

Rituals take up more time than you intended.

Checking, repeating or going over things can leave less time for the rest of your day.

Things need to feel a certain way.

You feel you have to do something in a particular way, even when it’s hard to explain why.

These experiences can have different explanations. You can ask for help even if only some feel familiar.

Common questions

How do you know it is OCD?

Your clinician asks about the thoughts, rituals and the time they take, and considers other explanations.

Do you offer exposure and response prevention?

Not directly. Your clinician can help you find a service, including publicly funded programs.

What if I need more support?

Your clinician can recommend further care. Any additional review is included in the same review, at no extra charge.

What if I think ADHD is part of it?

Say so in your answers. Your clinician can help you decide whether the ADHD assessment is a useful next step.

How does delivery work?

Pick up at the partner pharmacy, or have a courier bring it. A courier needs someone 18 or older to sign at the door. There is no advance waiver.

Who delivers?

Where the pharmacy has its own driver, it delivers in that area. Canada Post is not used for controlled medications.

Can I pick the day?

You choose the delivery day. We remind you the evening before.

How fast do you reply?

Within the window shown on your request: up to 2 business days for a clinical review, 1 business day for a question, 3 business days for delivery or funding. Not around the clock.

Is it covered by OHIP?

Avora fees are paid privately, not covered by OHIP. Your workplace or private plan may reimburse part of it.
