Detailed explanation-1: -Subclinical OCD has symptoms lasting <1 h/day without any functional consequences. In episodic OCD, remissions (with no or subclinical symptoms) and relapses are seen. Patients with chronic OCD have a continuous illness with significant distress and functional impairment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic condition that often produces lifelong morbidity, but few studies have examined long-term outcome (greater than 5 years) in adult patients. Available studies suggest that 32-74% of adult OCD patients will experience clinical improvement over the long term.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most effective treatments for OCD are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and/or medication.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ultimate goal of therapy is to translate exposure to the real world, where you can resist your compulsions and where you can embrace uncertainty rather than fear it. The psychotherapy of choice for the treatment of OCD is exposure and response prevention (ERP), which is a form of CBT.
