Meds and CBT: A combined approach using behavioral therapy and medication has been shown to be most effective. Start with your pcp or consult a experienced mental health professional. The oc foundation website is a great place to start.

Before You Leap ...: Before seeking out treatment, ensure that you get the most effective treatment(s) available! consider first doing some serious research about ocd. Learn all you can about it. Also learn all you can about what treatment(s) is/are effective. This way you can know what best to look for & what questions to ask. I suggest starting with the international ocd foundation (ocfoundation.Org).
