on 3/28/2009 ajcarle is a god d*mn ignorant SOB with all due respect of course! There absolutely is a cure for ocd, but it is up to the individual to find it within themselves, since we're all different and ocd affects people differently. There is no cure in the sense of a magic pill you can take and boom you're cured, but a person can absolutely be cured from ocd by changing the way they think and allowing their mind to "heal" their brain. that's the bottom line. DO NOT listen to people that say you can't cure ocd. If they have ocd and believe they can't cure it, their absolutely correct. If a person believes they CAN be cured from ocd, they're also absolutely correct. Don't let the negative path someone else has chosen be your own. With ocd it's the survival of the fittest, the lazy and weak minded people will be a slave to ocd until they make the necessary change. If a person acts hopeless, then t

on 3/13/2009 Faith, I am so sorry for what you have had to endure in your life and I am so glad you were able to come through it with the help you needed. It is difficult to understand what others go through without being in their shoes, so I can't pretend to know what you have faced. I would never make lite of your situation, but ajcarle is correct. I have OCD and social anxiety. I am 39 and I have had OCD since I can remember. It does not just "go away". There are ways to help "manage" it, such as relaxation techniques, medication, therapy, etc., but it is a genetic brain disorder (involving neurotransmitters and synapses in certain parts of the brain) we are born with and is inherited. It does sound as though you had a post-traumatic type of anxiety, and unless you abuse your children as well, they will not "inherit" your symptoms. That's wonderful to know. Many relatives before me

on 2/8/2009 With due respect, and condolences for your experience, you likely had post tramatic stress disorder. OCD is a brain disorder and not curable.

on 2/7/2009 I used to have OCD. By healing from my childhood traumas caused by severe child abuse, I was able to reduce my underlying anxiety significant and cure my OCD. This is the experience of many other child abuse survivors as well. Check out www.isurvive.org.

on 2/7/2009 This person is an idiot. OCD is a physiological condition and is not caused by ANY underlying, deeper emotional issue - any more than DIABETES is. It actually DOES essentially happen in a vacuum, with suffers unable to predict or control when their brain will become "stuck" on an anxiety producing thought.

The ONLY recognized treatment allows individuals to attempt to MANAGE their OCD, through a combination of cognitive behavorial therapy and medication.

THERE IS NO CURE FOR OCD, and for this person to suggest otherwise is either completely uninformed, irresponsible, or both.
