What Is OCD?
7. Prevention
It is not yet possible to make sure that we don’t develop obsessive compulsive disorder. The events that can trigger the condition can happen to people from all walks of life and without warning. There is also no known way of preventing it from other causes such as genetic make-up.
However, somebody that has been diagnosed with the condition can take steps to prevent serious complications arising. Treatment can be very effective, but it is advisable for the patient to get treatment as soon as possible because this will make treatment easier and more effective. This means the patient will need to recognize they have a problem and agree to get treatment.
