Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for OCD Treatment
At one time, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was thought of as a purely "neurotic" disorder. There were no known effective treatments, and people with severe OCD were often institutionalized or housebound. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is now used in the treatment of OCD, with very high rates of success.

Treatment Refractory OCD
Unfortunately for a small percentage of people with OCD, medication and behavioral therapy are unable to offer adequate help. This form of OCD is called "treatment refractory OCD." For those people who truly have treatment refractory OCD, there is still hope. There are many alternative treatments as well promising experimental options. More about very stubborn OCD.
Psychosurgery for OCD
One must remember that there are many options before psychosurgery, and most people do respond to medication or behavioral therapy. Nonetheless, some people have treatment-resistant OCD. In such cases, surgery should be considered if other options have failed. Learn more about brain surgery for OCD.
