Re: ocd treatments besides medicine????

[Guest guest]

Hi Emarie,

Well - therapy is the best treatment for OCD and med-free! Have you

had a chance to read yet about CBT/ERP for OCD? (Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy and also Exposure & Response Prevention) CBT and ERP are the

best treatment and long-lasting benefits, can give the person the tools

needed to boss back OCD.

With medication, there is no *one* medication that works for all. Same

with alternative type treatments. Two things I can think of now to

try, other than those mentioned already, are inositol powder (buy

online, cheaper) and some note a bit of improvement with omega 3 (fish

oil).

Feel free to ask questions anytime, have to run now!

Or there is flax seed oil. It has the Omega threes, sixes, and nines,

and no fishy taste. I used to mix it in with yogurt. It can be kind

of spendy and has to be refrigerated though.
