According to my professional understanding, OCD itself is an anxiety disorder and varies from person to person and at times different professional may diagnose differently as per the presenting symptoms. In this case a combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy may be helpful. This is only a suggestion. Please note that OCD can take a good amount of time to get treated and thus the management is time consuming and hence needs a good amount of zeal and dedication from the client’s side.

OCD is the long term problem. It combines with Anxiety. U need to reduce Anxiety with Progressive Relaxation and other relaxation techniques. To stop thoughts, Thought stoping technique is useful. Some times the combination of Therapies are needed.

Hi, OCD belongs to anxiety spectrum disorder, obviously people will have anxiety as a part of OCD. OCD is a chronic disorder means long term disorder. The main management of OCD is not curing the disorder, rather managing your symptoms and living the life to the fullest. Best management of OCD is with combination of medications and psychotherapy (ERP, fooding, CBT etc).

Hi thanks for your approach to us. Yes OCD is something which is both feeling of anxiety /fear (thoughts) and compulsion towards behaviour. It is something may not appear through out, if there is triggerance / stress in situations, then you could feel the difference in behaviour. Since symptoms may not be throughout, so the specialist might have told sometimes yes and no. Along with proper treatment, it suggested you will take the help of counselling, which will support you to handle the situation and cope with the emotional dysfunctions.

Thank you for sharing your concern I appreciate that you are aware about your issue and approaching help from professionals.
