Frequently asked questions
Is OCD just about being tidy or organized?
No, that is a common misconception. OCD involves genuinely distressing intrusive thoughts and compulsions, not simply a preference for order.
What treatment approaches are used for OCD?
Treatment guidelines recommend cognitive behavioral therapy that focuses on exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD. With a specialist's guidance, you gradually face the thoughts or situations that cause anxiety without carrying out the usual ritual. Your specialist adapts the plan to you.
Can OCD be effectively treated?
Yes, OCD can be treated. Research shows that cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention can reduce symptoms; how much and how fast differs from person to person.
