OCD is a serious, yet treatable anxiety disorder that often occurs with depression and other anxiety disorders. If not treated properly, it may become disabling.

Successful treatment often includes a combination of behavior therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or exposure therapy, and medication. Learn more about treating OCD and other anxiety disorders.
