Specializes in Psychiatry

OCD: If you believe that 3 years of uncontrolled obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms will be healed within 6 weeks of starting medications- than you have unrealistic expectations. This can be a difficulty condition to treat. Strongly recommend that psychotropic medications be combined with some form of psychotherapy. (Behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral Therapy).
