The WRONG Way To Treat OCD

Not all therapy works for OCD — in fact, the wrong approach can actually make symptoms worse. Too often, people are told to rely on deep breathing, relaxation, distraction, or reassurance to manage intrusive thoughts. These techniques may bring short-term relief, but they don’t stop OCD from tightening its grip. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains why those common strategies fail and what real, evidence-based OCD treatment looks like.At NOCD, we specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most proven treatment for OCD.
