Obsessive compulsive disorder??? |
What kind of testing to they do to be able to diagnose you with this disorder? What type of doctor should I see? you should talk to your regular physician, so that they know what is going on as well; they can (if you sign release forms) provide information to your therapist that can help in diagnosis and treatment. You can go to either a psychiatrist or psychologist (if you need to see someone else for diagnosis, treatment, etc. they will refer you). I think it's either a psychologist or psychiatrist..... u need to see both types of doctors the guy above me said See a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD. A psychiatrist can prescribe drugs, if necessary, to control OCD -- a psychologist can't prescribe medication because they are not MDs. im not exactly sure how they test you, but my aunt has OCD and she went to a therapist and was diagnosed, and she goes to her therapist like twice a month to have a session, in which i assume they talk. There isn't a specific test to determine if you have OCD. A licenses psychiatrist will ask you questions to determine if you have it. Be honest in your answers so you get the best treatment, if needed. a psychologist can simply find out if u have an ocd by just questioning u, but specific questions... I have OCD, and I had to see a cognitive-behavioral therapist. They help big time!! Most people have OCD to a certain extent. I don't believe they have any testing, but judge by how much it effects the quality of your day to day life. A Phychiatrist will be able to diagnose. Best of luck. If you are a level 4 or higher on Yahoo answers, you might be a candidate. |
