best OCD treatment
Question:
When we consistently resist the temptation to seek answers to the questions, the urge for the brain to seek resolution to the questions reduces with time. this is called desensitizing the brain to the event. RISK TAKING and UNCERTAINTY in psychotherapy, allow youself to have uncertainty and risk. eg rather than asking, "will i die if i dun wash my hand?" tell yourself, "even if i die, i dun give a damn! coz i want peace and calm, first priority" tell yourself, "even if this persists for eternity, i dun give a damn!" by psychoing yourself into NOT giving in to the rumination (obsession), the urge will REDUCE in time to come. Be WARNED, your spikes (mind attacks) will increase along with a decrease in ruminations (obsessions). The trick here is to first INCREASE the spikes, and REDUCE the ruminations (number of hours), which is the actual enemy. regards. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -<l…@ragingbull.com> wrote in message news:95io21$9em$1@nnrp1.deja.com… > Hi, > What is the best treatment (specifically tapes, > therapy, meditation, etc.) to cure OCD?

L: OCD can’t be cured, but it can be effectively managed. The majority opinion among psychiatrists (at least right now) is that OCD is best managed intially by a combination of cognitive therapy and medication. I would really encourage your family member to see a psychiatrist or a neurologist so he can make sure his problem is OCD. Self diagnosis is sometimes wrong. As far as books, I have one called "Getting Control" that I have found helpful. I think some posters here also like a book called "Stop Obsessing". There is also some fairly good information on various sites around the web, particularly the OCD Foundation site at: www.ocfoundation.org. Good luck, Twitch

There is no "cure’ and different things work best to treat different people. Best thing to do is encourage him to see a doc. – Thrasher l…@ragingbull.com wrote in article <95io21$9e…@nnrp1.deja.com>… | Hi, | What is the best treatment (specifically tapes, | therapy, meditation, etc.) to cure OCD?
