Not surprisingly it is often referred to as 'the hidden disorder'. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder was once thought to be a very rare condition. However we now know that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a condition which affects one in every forty people. There are two forms of treatment that are particularly helpful in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The first treatment is known as behaviour therapy and the other is a medical treatment.
Medical treatment requires the person to take tablets known as serotonergic re-uptake inhibitors.
Often a combination of the above treatments is most helpful.
