Psychotherapy
Found to be effective by 75% of patients
Based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The patient is exposed to the source of
the anxiety and is forced to control
their response by repressing or
ignoring the compulsion.

Pharmacotherapy
Medication is prescribed for patients with OCD helping in the reduction of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

Support
Your family is instrumental to the success of your treatment. It is best if they come with you during your consultation with your doctor so they better understand your condition.
You can also engage in self-help groups
or talk to a trusted friend.
