Effective OCD Treatments in Delhi: Therapy, Medication, and Beyond

Understanding OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by:

• Obsessions: Intrusive, unwanted thoughts or fears

• Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or rituals performed to reduce anxiety

If left untreated, OCD can significantly interfere with daily life, relationships, and work. Fortunately, effective treatments are available in Delhi through qualified psychiatrists and therapists.

Evidence-Based Therapies for OCD

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):CBT helps patients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns. For OCD, it targets both obsessions and compulsions.

2. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP):ERP is the gold-standard therapy for OCD. It involves gradual exposure to feared thoughts or situations while preventing compulsive responses.

3. Combination Therapy:Often, CBT or ERP is combined with medication for the best results, especially in moderate-to-severe cases.

Role of Medication in OCD Treatment

Psychiatrists may prescribe medications to help manage OCD symptoms, typically:

• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine, sertraline, or fluvoxamine

• Other options under psychiatric supervision for treatment-resistant cases

Medication can reduce anxiety and obsession intensity, making therapy more effective.
