In reply to Behavior Modification Treatment helps with OCD » super, posted by Rzip on January 25, 2001, at 12:11:58
I am always surprised when I hear about therapy for OCD. When I was diagnosed, the psychologist intially wanted to do behavior modification therapy, as he thought I might have an anxiety disorder. After talking more and testing me, he diagnosed OCD and referred me to my family doctor for medication. He then told me that we were no longer going to do therapy of any kind (and that I no longer needed to see him), because OCD is a totally organic disorder, best treated by medication. He pretty much told me that nothing he could do would make a difference and that it would be a waste of time and money to continue.
Live and learn, I suppose. I never did get any therapy, but Prozac was effective. I have to wonder now how much better things would have gone had I had both.
