OCD is a chronic anxiety disorder. It’s very much distressing to the patient at times if it is egodystonic. For satisfactory improvement a patient needs both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy for a long time. Among the medicine primarily SSRI and SRI groups are preferred. There are several augmentation therapy along with. Treatment varies patient to patient. Among psychotherapy CBT and ERP are most effective. A supportive family environment is effective. Patient’s motivation is also a determining factor. Thanks
