When Should You Seek Treatment for OCD in Texas?
OCD symptoms can significantly interfere with your daily life, causing distress and impacting relationships, work, and overall well-being. If you experience the following, it may be time to seek professional help:
Obsessions: Recurrent, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause anxiety or discomfort. These may include fears of contamination, harming others, or doubts about personal safety or moral behavior.
Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed in response to the obsessions. These may include washing, checking, counting, or repeating actions to reduce anxiety or prevent perceived harm.
Time-Consuming Rituals: Spending significant amounts of time engaging in compulsive behaviors or mental rituals to alleviate distress.
Interference with Daily Life: Obsessions and compulsions that disrupt work, school, or relationships.
If these symptoms are causing significant distress or taking up too much of your time, seeking treatment can help you find relief.
How Do We Treat OCD?
At Ease Psychiatry, we offer comprehensive, individualized treatment for OCD. Our approach may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Specifically, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based therapy shown to be highly effective in treating OCD. ERP involves gradually exposing you to situations that trigger your obsessions and teaching you how to resist the compulsive behaviors.
Medication: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other medications may be prescribed to help regulate the brain’s serotonin levels and reduce the frequency and intensity of obsessions and compulsions.
Lifestyle Strategies: We incorporate strategies for managing anxiety, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being, which can help reduce OCD symptoms over time.
Our providers work closely with you to find the right combination of treatments to help you manage your symptoms and regain control over your life. With in-person and telehealth services, we ensure that you have access to the care you need when you need it most.
