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
Hello, so I have been thinking about getting medication for ocd. But I am not diagnosed by my doctor they tested me and said I had it but never followed up. I want to get an official diagnosis where should I get it that won’t be to expensive because I am a college student.
Hi everybody! I started with a therapist who’s super pricey outside of NOCD, when I had mentioned that I’m struggling with OCD she didn’t seem too well versed she said oh so you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts? Lady you don’t know the half of it!! But I’m afraid of continuing because I don’t want to waste $180 a week for what is sold as someone who can treat and help with OCD then turns out to just be talking about stuff I’ve already talked about with past therapists! Anyway onto the question at hand! If I join NOCD and they don’t cover my insurance but I pay out of pocket fora real OCD/ERP specialist because I really need the help! Is NOCD going to help me? Or am I going to waste my time and should I keep trying my hardest to find ERP specialists on Google. I’m exhausted I just want to know I’m going to get help and relief from this before I put more money into therapy Any advice or honesty would help greatly! ❤️👈🏼
I’m positive I have OCD I don’t think get too many compulsions but the obsessions are what mess with me. I’ve recently started medication for depression that is as a side effects supposed to treat ocd but I’m not noticing anything with the symptoms. Also who do I go to to try to get an actual diagnosis?
