Is OCD an anxiety disorder?

OCD is closely related to anxiety but is classified as a separate condition in modern diagnostic systems.

Can OCD go away on its own?

Symptoms may fluctuate over time, but professional treatment often leads to more effective and lasting improvement.

What is the best therapy for OCD?

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is considered one of the most effective treatments for OCD.

Are intrusive thoughts dangerous?

No. Intrusive thoughts are common in OCD and do not indicate that a person will act on them. They are unwanted symptoms that often cause distress precisely because they conflict with the person's values and intentions.
