Treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) requires addressing its underlying causes. If OCD is triggered by psychological stress, psychotherapy may be beneficial. Patients should also practice self-regulation and relaxation techniques to help alleviate symptoms. For more severe cases, antipsychotic medications may be prescribed. OCD may arise from genetic factors, and psychological or environmental factors may also contribute.
