Anxiety+Depression: Obsesion can be good, until it begins to interefere with daily life and sleep. Medications alone work in 30%, therapy works in 30%, together they can get remission in 80-90%. Working these thought patterns is like exercising the mind. It strengthens these pathways to perpetuate the process. Treatment must break the cycle and then give you new tools to deal with problems.
