Meds and therapy: Meds (usually antianxiety medications, but not always) combined with therapy with a clinician who specializes on OCD is the best combination to treat OCD, typically. OCD can eventually resolve itself, per your question, but the more severe the symptomology the less likely the OCD will spontaneously decrease or go away altogether.
