What do they do to treat people with an xtreme "o" factor with their obsessive compulsive disorder?

Meds,therapy?
I was just wanting to know.....

People with the "extreme O Factor" really are experiencing mental rituals. Anything one does, thinks, or says to reduce anxiety can become a ritual.
Cognitive behavioral Therapy with a strong ERP (exposure and response prevention) component should be your first step toward overcoming your distress.
You can look for therapists experienced in CBT at www.aada.org.
Continuing to do the mental or overt rituals merely serves to increase the anxiety in the long run.
You can also join a yahoo group with several professionals with vast knowledge of OCD at OCD-Support@Yahoogroups.com

I dont know what this is? You can add details so people can help!
