What Is The Best Treatment for OCD?

In this video I will explain What is the Best Treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is? There are 2 treatments that have been proven to be effective for OCD; medication & talking therapy. In the video I will go into more details but here are the highlights: 1. The biological origins of OCD are still unclear so if you are offered medication the prescribing process is likely to involve a bit of trial & error. The medication you are likely to be offered is an anti-depressants called an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) e.g. Fluoxetine (which is Prozac), Paroxetine, Sertraline, Citalopram. 2. The psychological origins of OCD are a bit clearly so developing an effective treatment here has been easier. Currently the most effective talking therapy for OCD is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In the video I will explain what CBT for OCD involves. In the video I will also explain what you can expect to be offered if you go to for help, which is usually determined by how severe your symptoms are & how much they are interfering with your life.
