What Your OCD Treatment Includes

A detailed psychiatric assessment evaluates obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, symptom severity, functional impairment, medical history, and any underlying psychiatric conditions that may influence diagnosis or treatment.

Diagnosis is based on clinical history, behavioral patterns, symptom duration, and the impact OCD has on work, relationships, and everyday functioning, allowing treatment decisions to be made with confidence.

When medication is clinically appropriate, treatment may include evidence-based medication options with careful selection, dosage adjustments, regular monitoring, and follow-up appointments to optimize results while minimizing side effects.

When appropriate, Dr. Akram coordinates care with therapists providing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors while improving daily functioning.

Ongoing follow-up appointments allow treatment to be monitored and adjusted as symptoms improve, life circumstances change, and clinical needs evolve over time.
