How can obsessive-compulsive disorder be cured?

       The so-called “cure” for OCD is often misunderstood, as it is believed that the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder can be eliminated from the root, but in fact this is different from the concept of a cure.  In fact, this is different from the concept of curing the disease. The clinical phenomenon is very clear: the compulsions are actually compulsive behaviors that one thinks and does, and one is aware of them. Patients often say: I know I shouldn’t think and repeat, but I can’t control it”, that is, compulsions and counter-compulsions. There is a psychological basis for this imagery, such as over-conscientiousness and over-worrying, often from childhood habits, i.e., the compulsion is justified and even felt necessary at the conscious level, while the counter-compulsion is also justified.  Second, long-term compulsions or compulsive habits have formed “motivational” stereotypes, such as certain bad habits, which are not easy to change. But compulsions can certainly be changed!  It is understandable that a person with an illness would like to be cured quickly and completely. But people with OCD tend to be more eager, or have a tendency to be perfectionists. This often hinders treatment, and even runs counter to what is desired. And this is something that psychotherapy is often careful to address.  Once the patient wakes up and realizes that he or she has made a pointless struggle in the past like tuning into a swamp, the deeper he or she sinks. Of course not want to find a way to get rid of it, but also may fall down. Treatment takes skill and time.
