Treatment for OCD


I have been diagnosed with OCD. What is a good treatment for this disorder?

OCD is a difficult disorder to treat. In most cases, the disorder is treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medications. The latest antidepressants are useful but the disorder cannot be cured. In most people, the response to a drug often takes several months. I recommend you speak to your psychiatrist about the drugs. Psychotherapy alone is not effective for OCD and must be combined with medications.
