In OCD treatment, the main **components ** for a successful treatment are as follows: 1. education  2. CBT or cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy  3. medication with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs)

**Phychotherapy**:  CBT is a psychotherapeutic treatment choice for children, adolescents, and adults with OCD. It works by helping the patient learn an effective way for them to resist the compulsions of OCD. Behavioral therapy is also reconmended to help people change their conditions and outlook on how to ease the compulsions.
