Treatment Approaches
At Dr. Soumya Dash’s practice, we offer a comprehensive approach to OCD treatment, combining evidence-based therapies with personalized care.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
This therapy focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and developing coping mechanisms for anxiety.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
A specialized type of CBT for OCD, ERP involves gradually exposing individuals to their fears while preventing them from engaging in compulsive behaviors. This helps them learn to tolerate anxiety and break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
Medication
In some cases, medication may be recommended to manage OCD symptoms, particularly when anxiety is severe.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies
Techniques like mindfulness meditation can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment, reducing the impact of intrusive obsessions.
