The Effectiveness Of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy In Treating OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
Posted: March 27, 2024
A number of studies have demonstrated CBT as more effective than placebo and other psychotherapies for the treatment of OCD, is comparable to serotonergic medications, and may even be more effective than medication in some cases... A recent meta-analysis showed that CBT outperformed controls in all 16 studies used in the meta-analysis.... studies supporting the efficacy of cognitive therapy have grown over the years and suggest that cognitive treatments are not only effective in improving symptoms and reducing emotional distress, but may also be effective in improving treatment adherence and reducing treatment drop-out.
