Can OCD For 13 Years Be Cured From Medication?
Hi Doctor,
Iam 31 years old and suffering from OCD for 13 years now and did not seek for any medical help yet. Do you think that I can still be cured from my OCD after all this year? Do you think my condition will get worst if I will not seek medical help. Thanks

Hello
Yes OCD can improve and at times almost be symptoms free with help of drugs irrespective of duration
It is like diabetes if OCD is of long standing thec
drug has to be taken daily and regularly
you have to get in touch with a psychistrist for proper drug prescription Some doctor like to do systematic desensitisation under behaviour threapy with or without drug .But with drug this threapy works better
take care
