Is ocd(obsessive compulsive disorder) completely curable? anyone who has had ocd and is now absolutely fine?

Question

How long does it take to come out of this disease completely?

Answer 1

the medical profession has all sorts of cute little names for simple human nature to scare us into giving them money and buy thier drugs. if you are not hurting anyone, there is probably nothing wrong with you. relax and know its ok to be yourself. if you dont like a part of your personality, just change it. somebody gave it a name and made it a bad thing.

Answer 2

No, but you can manage the symptoms with medication and cognitive behavioural therapy. The symptoms return when you stop the drugs. A class of drugs called SSRIs are used to treat OCD. You have to take these drugs life long or another treatment should be invented. SSRIs cause sexual dysfunction, loss of libido and weight gain. A new drug called Mirtazapine may be effective in OCD and it has no sexual side effects.
CBT is recommended for mild OCD. You need to combine CBT with pharmacological management for moderate to severe OCD.
Only 60% of people respond to OCD medications. You have to take trials of different SSRIs to find the suitable one and to wait for 3 - 12 weeks for a response. OCD needs higher doses of SSRIs.
Consult a good Clinical Psychiatrist and start the treatment. You must be absolutely fine after 6 months of proper treatment.
