Question: Who exactly treats things such as phobias and ocd?

(Posted by: Marie J on 2010-07-23 18:37:14)

I've been at a complete loss deciding what career I want to pick. I go to college soon, and I have NO clue what I want to do and it's stressing me out. HOWEVER, it just hit me the other day. I have OCD...I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm 99 % sure I have it. Maybe not severely, but I do. I'm CONSTANTLY dealing with the compulsions/ obsessions/ ritual things. It never stops during the day, and it DOES interfere with my life now. Didn't use to..but it definitely has been for awhile. If I don't give in to the urges I start to feel anxious and panic. Anyway, I think something that would interest me as a career is being someone who deals with people who have OCD. Maybe even someone who helps people overcome phobias (I know they're a little different but oh well) If I wanted to research this a little bit, how would I go about doing that? What is the technical term for someone who treats OCD/ phobias? Thank you for any help!

Psychologists treat phobias and anxiety disorders such as OCD by doing therapy. there are no medications for OCD or phobias. you have to overcome them, as hard as it may be.
