Last updated: January 2025 | Medically reviewed
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). It affects roughly 2-3% of the population.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the most effective treatment for OCD. It involves gradually exposing yourself to triggering situations while resisting the urge to perform compulsions.
NOCD is our top pick for OCD treatment, as all their therapists are specifically trained in ERP. BetterHelp and Talkspace also have OCD specialists available.
