Posted on: 09/14/2011 According to www.ocdmesh.com, the most effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder is often cognitive-behavioral therapy.
The behavioral portion of this psychological treatment for people with OCD involves exposing the OCD patient to situations that will trigger the obsessions. For example, if the patient is obsessed with cleaning, he/she will be put in a situation that will cause the patient to want to behave in a certain way to address the ‘cleaning’ impulse.
Subsequently, the cognitive portion of this therapy comes when the OCD patient is asked to abstain from the impulses. He/she is taught how to react to their uncontrolled obsessions— thoughts, feelings, ideas, and sensations, among others— and avoid performing their urging compulsions.
Additionally, this last component integrates learning how to prevent and/or control the anxiety that emerges with OCD.
