What's the duration of the treatment of moderate cases of ocd?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Variable: Depends on endpoint and what type of treatment you are referring to. Behavioral therapy is very effective for ocd often in addition to medication. The duration of treatment is based on individual response to treatment program.
