Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

The presence of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is marked by compulsive, irrational behaviours or thoughts that are inconsistent with the individual’s values, but cause a great deal of stress when resisted.

Similarly to other conditions treated at Montrose Place obsessive compulsive disorder is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors and as such the most effective treatment for OCD involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy and self help. Medication and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is particularly crucial in the management of OCD, complicated by substance abuse. Our comprehensive extended care treatment programme incorporates all these elements.
