Does anyone have a good experience with doctors and the ocd diagnosis process. I am 100% it's ocd but do I need to get a complete and definite answer? And if so is it worth it?
I have seen so many psychiatrists and therapists over the past two decades, and honestly, no one helped me. Everyone diagnosed me with something different, and the therapists I saw just did talk therapy, which is not useful for someone with OCD. I've also tried CBT, DBT, and EMDR for OCD, all which did not work. I am trying ERP therapy now with NOCD, and I am hoping to see results! If you really think you have OCD, I would try to meet with one of the therapists on NOCD who specialize in OCD. I wish I would have tried ERP 20 years, and if I had, maybe I would've had a happier life!
Alot of my reasoning for wanting to meet with a health professional is to know for sure its ocd even though I'm already so sure it is. Right now I have found ways which help me by doing it myself but sometimes it's hard
@EllieDuffy21 Sounds like OCD with the amount you are questioning the diagnosis. Doing it yourself is hard so if you can see an ERP therapist it’s much better.
