Does OCD play a part in the cause of my irrational fears?
That makes sense. Can therapy or medication help with both OCD and irrational fears?
Yes, both therapy and medication can be effective treatments for OCD and related anxiety disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to help people with OCD learn to manage their symptoms and reduce their anxiety. Additionally, certain medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can be helpful in reducing the severity of OCD symptoms and improving overall mental health.
