A joke among some friends of mine is that everyone has obsessive-compulsive disorder in some fashion. It may manifest itself in many different ways, according to popular water-cooler discussion.

Are any of them of particular concern, though? Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been a buzzword in the psychiatric field for some time now, and CBT is no being considered as a treatment to cases of OCD.

So, if you've been diagnosed with OCD and treatments haven't performed as you'd like, you may want to inquire into CBT treatment with your mental health care provider.
