Yes. OCD is one of those disorders that can feel hopeless when you’re caught in it, but that really isn’t. Therapy or a combination of therapy and medication can usually help, although neither is a “quick fix”. I see therapy with OCD clients as having two prongs — one, which is more behaviorally oriented, is aimed at actually stopping the obsessions or compulsions. The other, which goes hand in hand with the first, focuses more on helping the person gain insight into the underlying feelings the OCD symptoms were attempting to cover. A good therapist should be able to help with both things for a more lasting treatment result.
