Obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder can potentially be cured. Patients with obsessive-compulsive anxiety can alleviate their inner tension through regular psychotherapy. Under medical supervision, they may take antipsychotic medications such as fluoxetine orally. With active and standardized treatment, patients who demonstrate good adherence to therapy may achieve clinical recovery. However, if patients have poor adherence and do not actively cooperate with treatment, relapse is highly likely.
