Do you need a formal OCD diagnosis to have specific therapy for it, either on this app or for in person/other online therapy? Can NOCD give you a diagnosis or do you need to go to a doctor?
My first time seeing a therapist was through NOCD and I was never diagnosed before! You don’t need a formal diagnosis for NOCD, not sure about other kinds of therapy. These therapists are licensed and are able to diagnose you but you have to make that 15 minute call first so they can set you up with a therapist
Hope that makes sense, but NOCD therapists do give a diagnosis and it’s not required to be diagnosed beforehand, they’ll assess whether you have it or not in the session
@ck99 Thank you ❤️ Do they assess you in the 15 minute call or in your first full therapy session?
@itsquietuptown They diagnose in the full therapy session! The 15 minute call is when they ask what ur struggling with and talk a little about how the therapist would handle ur OCD struggle (ERP) and then you give ur personal info on the phone and the appointment is set up
