Treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic condition marked by repetitive, uncontrollable thoughts (obsessions) and actions (compulsions). It impacts about 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the United States.

OCD consists of two main components:

Obsessions

Intrusive, repetitive thoughts or sensations that are difficult to control, often leading to distress and greatly impacting daily functioning, are a hallmark symptom of conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Compulsions

Obsessions trigger compulsive behaviors that often feel involuntary. These compulsions can interfere with daily life and cause distress, even when the obsessions seem irrational. Nonetheless, individuals with OCD feel a strong urge to perform these behaviors.

Our Approach to Treating OCD Symptoms

At Safer Psychiatry, our approach to treating OCD is rooted in evidence-based therapies. One of the most effective methods we use is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which gradually exposes individuals to anxiety-triggering situations while preventing the compulsive behaviors they typically rely on.

We recognize that ERP may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with primarily mental obsessions or challenges with anxiety-inducing exercises. In these cases, we offer a range of medications that have shown effectiveness in various studies. Our treatment plans are customized to meet the unique needs of each individual.
