OCD Treatment
Breaking free from the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions
Understanding OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that you feel driven to perform. OCD can be debilitating, and it's often misunderstood. Effective treatment typically involves both medication and specialized therapy (ERP), and we make sure both are working together.
Common Symptoms
- Intrusive, unwanted thoughts that cause significant distress
- Repetitive behaviors or rituals you feel compelled to perform
- Excessive checking, counting, or arranging
- Fear of contamination or harm
- Difficulty tolerating uncertainty
- Significant time lost to obsessions and compulsions
How We Treat It
OCD responds well to specific medication strategies, often involving SSRIs at therapeutic doses that differ from standard depression treatment. We align medication adjustments with your therapeutic milestones, particularly if your therapist specializes in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
