Ocd -spending all day everyday cleaning, how to treat this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy and meds: You should talk to a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist to see about what the best options for you are. Many patients respond well to therapy that emphasizes cognitive behavioral principles. However, the severity of the symptoms of some patients with ocd make the implementation of medications helpful to some extent. There is help for you and you are not alone!
