Questions About OCD
We understand that reaching out can feel like a significant step. Here are answers to some common questions about beginning care.
Is OCD treatable?
Yes. OCD can be treated with evidence-based approaches, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Medication may also be recommended when clinically appropriate.
How long does OCD treatment take?
Treatment duration varies depending on symptom severity, individual circumstances, and response to therapy. Your clinician will develop a treatment plan and review progress over time.
What is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)?
ERP is a specialised form of CBT that involves gradually facing situations or thoughts that trigger anxiety while learning to resist compulsive responses. It helps individuals develop healthier ways of responding to distress and uncertainty.
Do I need medication for OCD?
Not everyone with OCD requires medication. Some people benefit from therapy alone, while others may need medication or a combination of both. A psychiatrist can assess your symptoms and discuss suitable options.
