A member asked:

Can i tell me how i can stop pure ocd (harm-o)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OCD: Start with cognitive behavioral therapy with a cbt trained therapist with experience in ocd. The therapist will tell you if you also need to be referred to a psychiatrist for medication management. Best wishes.
