Do all OCD's have to be treated?

Answer 1

No not all, only if the OCD behavior affects the person's quality of life or limits him/her from school or work. The best way to be sure would be to talk with a professional psychologist or psychiatrist about it.

Answer 2

Meh, not necessarily. I was diagnosed with ocd when I was 15. I am 22 now, and I had a choice to go on drugs or fight it, and although I'm still doing it, I'm fighting it on my own.

I have what is called superstious ocd. It gets to the point where my mind is invaded with crazy thoughts, and although I know I would never act on them or enjoy other peoples pain, It really takes a toll on how you feel. Panic attacks follow, along with crying and then usually if I cant fight it , I end up going into a deep sleep. But I wake up knowing another fit bite the dust.

I have some other ones, like touching the kitchen cupboards an equal number of times in several intervals, but you just need to learn to control it. I personally think that most people can overcome it if they try; its a chemical imbalance, and its either that or you have to depend on drugs for the rest of your life.

So to answer this, lol. Yes, it CAN be treated, it dont HAVE to be, as long as you can maintain control of it.A lot of people dont even know they have it.

Answer 3

Yeah.

Answer 4

no
