Finding Help for OCD in Delaware

Find mental health providers in Delaware who can help with ocd. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) done to relieve distress. A specific, evidence-based therapy makes OCD highly treatable.

OCD is highly treatable with a specific therapy called exposure and response prevention (ERP), sometimes combined with SSRI medication. General talk therapy alone is often not enough. On HometownMind you can find providers trained in ERP for OCD, or get matched with one for free.

Common signs

How ocd is treated

Exposure and response prevention (ERP)

The gold-standard therapy for OCD, ERP gradually reduces the power of obsessions by resisting compulsions in a supported way.

Medication management

Certain SSRIs, often at higher doses, are effective and can be combined with ERP.

Which provider treats ocd?

Seek out a provider specifically trained in ERP, as general talk therapy alone is often not enough for OCD. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can prescribe and manage medication, while therapists provide talk therapy such as CBT. Many people work with both.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best treatment for OCD?

Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specialized form of CBT, is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. It is often combined with SSRI medication, sometimes at higher doses than for depression.

Why isn't regular talk therapy enough for OCD?

General talk therapy can sometimes reinforce reassurance-seeking, which feeds OCD. ERP is specifically designed to reduce compulsions, so it is important to find a provider trained in ERP.

How do I find an OCD specialist?

On HometownMind you can browse providers who treat OCD and ask whether they offer ERP, or get matched for free with a provider suited to your needs.
