  • Title: Treating the anxiety: therapeutic options in obsessive compulsive disorder.
    Author: Greist JH.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1990 Nov; 51 Suppl():29-34. PubMed ID: 2146255.
    Abstract:
    Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is far more prevalent and frequently more severe than recognized previously. Behavior therapy with exposure and response-prevention has proven effective treatment, as have potent serotonin uptake inhibitors, especially clomipramine, despite a high relapse rate after drug discontinuation. These therapies are complementary and a combination of the two approaches shows great promise in the treatment of OCD.
