OCD Treatment in Albuquerque, New Mexico

OCD affects approximately 1.2% of U.S. adults. Common obsessions include fears of contamination, harm, or symmetry; compulsions include checking, cleaning, and repeating behaviors. The gold-standard treatment is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy combined with SSRIs. General talk therapy is not effective for OCD — ERP-trained specialists are essential. Lyte Psychiatry's Albuquerque telehealth team treats ocd with a combination of psychiatry, therapy, and medication management — most insurance plans accepted.
