Treatment offered at the CBT center for anxiety and OCD can range from medication to therapy and even surgery depending on your symptoms and what you need.

The traditional approach is for a mental health professional (a psychologist or psychiatrist) to prescribe medication as needed after assessment, diagnosis, and consultation with the prescribing physician. There are no medications that target OCD specifically; however, there are highly effective medications that help reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression, which can be catalysts for OCD symptoms (and vice versa). Medication does not treat the underlying problem, but it can help regulate brain chemistry to provide relief from symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, compulsions, obsessions, and other associated neuroses.

If symptoms of OCD do not respond sufficiently to medication alone, you may also see a therapist who specializes in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). CBT can help you re-frame how your brain is wired, thus changing how you think about things. Learning how your thoughts affect your feelings and behavior can be useful in understanding why you have kept OCD under control for so long. If medication does not work or you are already taking it, talk to your doctor about other options before trying something else on your own.

Finally, if no other treatment works, there is also a surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation which implants electrodes within specific parts of the brain that are thought to malfunction during OCD episodes (this does not involve cutting open the skull; rather, it is performed via an endoscope inserted through small openings in front of each ear above the jawline). This surgery is reversible and has been done successfully on many people all over the world.

The most common treatment for OCD is some form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. In addition to CBT, several other forms of psychotherapy have been used successfully to treat OCD. One option is exposure and response prevention (ERP). In ERP, you work with your therapist to gradually expose yourself to anxiety-provoking situations related to contamination or fear of harming others until your fear begins to diminish. Then you work together with your therapist using relaxation techniques, thinking strategies, or other ways to cope with any remaining anxiety. Another option is a behavior therapy called habit reversal training which focuses on teaching you how to recognize the times when you’re most likely to engage in compulsive behaviors and develop effective, alternative habits that can take their place.

In conclusion, CBT center for anxiety and OCD can take on many forms and depends largely on your symptoms, lifestyle, and personality. It is important to remember that while some people may find success with only medication or therapy, others may need a combination of the two to achieve their personal goals.
