Diagnosis and therapy
How do I get Diagnosed? And is any therapist adequate to dealing with OCD?

Personally, as someone who was in talk therapy since 2020 (endedthis year), an OCD/ERP therapist is always a great choice when seeking treatment if you have access to one. During my entire talk therapy treatment, I only had one therapist who came close to being able to treat it effectively, and that was only because we tried out a "fear ladder" which is basically like a hierarchy in erp. I also wasn't diagnosed the entire time because they just didn't know much about OCD. After seeing an erp specialist, I was finally diagnosed.

You should definitely look out for an OCD specialist. Unfortunatly, many therapist who don't specialise in OCD/ERP therapy tend to misdiagnose OCD as another disorder or are not capable of offering effective treatment for OCD.

The problem is the lack of specialists around my area, and unfortunately most online specialists are not in my native language
