OCD Care for Busy, Growing Communities
Demanding jobs and a busy household can hide how much time rituals take until they start costing hours each day.
Treatment can include medication when indicated, decided jointly with the patient, exposure-based therapy or both, with follow-up visits by video.
OCD brings intrusive, unwanted thoughts and the rituals meant to quiet them, and people with it generally spend more than an hour a day on obsessions or compulsions.
