I just had my first session yesterday, have never been diagnosed with OCD previously and the therapist I saw gave the assessment and diagnosed me during the meeting. We discussed my general issues at first, past mental health history, then did assessments.

@serenity_1 Not a dumb question at all. Yes she was(like I believe all of them on this platform are) a specialist in OCD and after administering the assessment, stated that I met the qualifiers for OCD. Which I am assuming is as good as/the same as a diagnosis. She did ask a lot of questions and I took some assessments afterwards as well. You will need discuss your triggers, what helps you, any rituals or anything like that and the themes you tend to focus on. She explained a lot, I was able to talk and ask questions.

@serenity_1 I’m not sure on that front. Mine is covered by my insurance. However, they can’t force you to continue to go to sessions. So 🤷🏻♀️

I was already diagnosed with OCD when I started therapy through NOCD, but I was diagnosed with Excoriation Disorder by my NOCD therapist. You'll do assessments for the first session or two, and your therapist can give diagnoses after you complete them. They're done through the NOCD app, partially in session and partially as homework. Hope this helps!

@serenity_1 Every NOCD therapist specializes in OCD treatment through ERP. Most of them are clinical social workers, which qualifies them to give diagnoses, including non-OCD diagnoses.
