Yes.: If you receive the right treatment, anything is possible, just believe in yourself. Work with your doctor to find a treatment plan that works best for you. It is good to let your psychiatrist know which meds work best for you and the side effects if you experience any. There are other cognitive-behavioral therapies such as exposure and thought-stopping which may help.

OK to be scared!: But work 2ward facing ur fear! to prepare: know what challenges ocd may toss ur way. Educate urself ; ur family about what ocd is/isn't; ; (b) what form(s) it takes. Learn what makes ocd tick ; how 2 stare it down. (see http://bit.Ly/y0lvsh .) and consider expert help! cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) that specifically includes exposure ; response prevention (erp) = "gold standard" treatment.
