Can "Obsessive Compulsion Disorder" be cured permanently?

Question: I use to get repeated thoughts, I am not able to control them. I came to know that it is OCD, which raises from stress.I want to getrid off it, How can I?

Answers:
Right now the best thing you can do is see a psychiatrist and get on medication. However, there is some sucess with behavioral therapy, but more effectively cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy gets to the source of the problem, your thoughts. If you can learn to control your thoughts. It is a long and painful process with behavioral therapy. Although it has become more humane in recent years; they used to have some patients rub their hands in feces and touch toliets. Cognitive therapy must be carried out by a expert and will probably take years to complete.

The point is that the easy way out is medication, not that you should take meds only that meds will not 'rid' you of your condition, it will only rid you of the symptoms. For now take meds and see a psychiatrist, ask him about cognitive therapy.
