Ultimate method to deal with ocd?

Cues, counters: 1. Get an eval to be sure it's ocd. 2. Keys to countering obsessions & compulsions are: developing an awareness of what your cues or triggers are, engaging countering behaviors (e.g., progressive relaxation, challenging automatic thoughts, distraction), & tracking the success of your counters. Medications can be a big support. A cognitive-behavioral therapist can help you develop strong skills.

EVAL: Get a psychiatric evaluation for OCD symptomology and severity, and possible medication management. Then get a referral to a reputable clinician who specializes in OCD.
