Reply To: OCD – is it really an issue?

I became ocd from medication that was combating other mental illness issues that I have. The ocd was so over the top that I couldn’t live that way. It started making me depressed because ocd is so demanding. It would take me double the normal amount of time that it took me to leave my house, I couldn’t function properly at work etc. I was taken off my medication and we raised my other medicine and b”H everything calmed down. I also worked on it in therapy but I do not think therapy alone would have helped my situation. In my case, the meds were definitely necessary!
