Coping with obsessive OCD

[Steven_v]

anybody got any good coping stratagies for "pure O" o.c.d.?

Steven, as I suggested in another thread, you need to talk to your doctor (1) about medications and (2) if your doctor is not a psychiatrist about a referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist who works with OCD. Believe me, this is not going to be something you can just "banish" on your own.

In the meantime, check some of the resources at http://www.psychlinks.ca/pages/ocd.htm and in the OCD thread at this forum.

What is "pure O" OCD?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I'm assuming he means OCD with obsessional thinking but without the behaviour rituals (compulsions). It's not really a separate diagnosis or condition.
