Frequently Asked Questions
What is exposure with response prevention (ERP)?
ERP is the most effective treatment for OCD. You are gradually exposed to what triggers obsessive thoughts while practicing not performing compulsive behaviors. Over time, anxiety decreases and the grip of compulsion loosens. Treatment proceeds at a safe, controlled pace.
Can OCD be completely cured?
Most people experience significant improvement with treatment, but OCD can be a chronic condition with periods of improvement and relapse. The goal of treatment is to reduce the impact of symptoms on your life and provide tools for long-term management.
What is the difference between OCD and normal worry?
OCD thoughts are intrusive, unwanted, and often irrational, leading to compulsive behaviors to reduce anxiety. Normal worries are typically more realistic and don't lead to rituals. A psychologist can help distinguish and treat the condition.
