Natural Rx: Treatment with psychiatric drugs is associated with risks of serious side effects & I therefore suggest Natural interventions for OCD & other emotional problems. Natural interventions include a healthy diet which is high in fruit & veggies, fish & chicken. Avoid too much caffeine & sugar. Exercise regularly. Meditation may help you relax. Avoid alcohol and illicit drugs. ERP may also help!

ERP is the best: Definately ERP is a good start, some people will find to get relief will need meds and at times a very high dosage of a med like prozac may be necessary to good effect-when used appropiately can be very effective , not everyone responds to meds so ERP is the way to go!
