Psychotherapy
Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves unwanted, repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and repeated behaviours performed to relieve the anxiety (compulsions). At Sone Wellbeing Unit in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul, OCD is treated by a clinical psychologist using exposure and response prevention (ERP), the best-evidenced psychological approach.

The obsession–compulsion cycle is mapped; with ERP, anxiety is faced gradually and rituals are dropped. A psychiatrist is involved if medication is considered.
Obsessions are usually the opposite of what a person values, which is why they feel shameful. The therapist knows this and works with the cycle, not the content.
Mild to moderate OCD often responds to psychotherapy alone; medication decisions rest with a psychiatrist.
Anger is a natural emotion; the problem starts with sudden outbursts, regret afterwards and damaged relationships.
