Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder, which is curable with proper treatment. Duration of treatment is usually long & varies from patient to patient based on severity of illness, adherence to treatment, presence of other physical or mental illnesses etc. The treatment of OCD is medication, along with Behavior therapy & counselling sessions. Get yourself evaluated by a Psychiatrist first, who will make the proper diagnosis after doing your detailed mental status evaluation & physical examination & then prescribe you medicines and/or advice you behavior therapies & counseling sessions accordingly. For complete recovery, it is very necessary that you adhere to treatment & stay under regular supervision of your doctor, as treatment will be modified from time to time based on your state. Do not stop treatment on your own without advice from your attending doctor. & if you have any query regarding your symptoms or treatment, talk openly with your doctor. Wish you speedy recovery.
