Is anti-depressant effective for treating OCD, considering alternatives?
Medication
My psychiatrist wants to put me on anti-depressants. I’m not depressed. In fact I am a super active explorative person who is definitely part of the ‘glass half full’ group. I told them no, because I don’t think I am at the stage of needing medication, and I have been making progress with CBT practices. However, I am interested if anyone is treating OCD with a form of anti-depressant and if it has worked? I know micro dosing mushrooms has lots of information on how it improves mental health and helps especially with OCD. Unfortunately this is not legal where I live, and I’m hoping to find other avenues that aren’t a hard medication. I have a sensitive body…if that makes sense.
