34F my mom just now told me I was diagnosed with ocd at 6 years old
Well it’s all making sense. I was telling her how I want to get tested for adhd / ocd and we were talking about my focus issues, rumination and severe childhood compulsions. I remember going to a psych doctor but I never knew if I was diagnosed with anything. Today I learned, I was diagnosed with OCD at age 6. I only did a few therapy sessions and that was it. We never went back. It is all making sense why I am the way I am.
I am scheduling a doctors visit soon to get tested again and pick some therapy.
Is CBT therapy the usual route? What medications, if any are usually prescribed?
