Hi

I have posted on other threads about how helpful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is

 

It is by far the best first line of treatment for OCD

 

Done by trained psychologists

 

let me know if you need to talk by PM or here

 

OCD can be hard to live with when it starts controlling you life, so it really is a good idea not to just live with it , but get help

The same time that I was seen a pshycaritrist I was seeing a psychologist.As months passed since Aug-Sept of 2001 untill the month of April 2002 I went to see another psychologist therapist that specialized OCD since that other psychologist that I was previously seeing my ocd problems was still at the same, but I had improvement in some other aspects maybe from both medicince and mostly therapy.I've started to see this therapist , since the psychologist has told me that she's seeing improvement.Before seeing her, I went to see my pshycaritrist's head pshycaritrist since I was taking medicine and there wasn't much improvement.He the head pshycaritrist said that therapy will be a big part to treat my ocd, medicine will be a small part.I have been seeing this OCD therapist since then.
