Medication
Is it important to have a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD or is it okay if they have a “fair” amount of experience treating it as a generalized psychiatrist?

My therapist who is specialized in OCD is the one who recommended my psychiatric nurse practitioner. The PNP doesn’t have specific ERP or OCD training but knows enough to be able to recommend meds. Hope that’s helpful!
I had a psychiatrist and she did not know what she was doing in regards to OCD… I would suggest asking about ERP if they know what it is
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you
Is it normal to think your therapist does not know how to treat ocd? What is a good therapist in ocd?
