Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)- a type of CBT- is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. We use ERP to treat all varieties of OCD, including contamination OCD, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, symmetry OCD, harm OCD, scrupulosity OCD, and more.
Antidepressants are the primary medications for treating OCD. They’re very effective when used in conjunction with therapy. Sometimes, CBT and ERP therapy are tried first without medication, especially with younger children.
