OCD Treatment

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a distinct condition that requires specialized psychiatric assessment. While OCD shares features with generalized anxiety, its clinical presentation -- persistent intrusive thoughts paired with ritualistic behaviors -- calls for targeted treatment. Our providers across the Boulder area and all of Colorado are experienced in differentiating OCD from other anxiety-related conditions.

First-line pharmacological treatment for OCD typically involves selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), often at higher doses than those used for depression or generalized anxiety. When SSRI response is inadequate, clomipramine or augmentation strategies may be indicated. Treatment selection is guided by symptom severity, prior medication history, and individual tolerability.

The initial evaluation includes a thorough review of obsessive and compulsive symptom patterns, duration, functional impact, and any co-occurring conditions. This structured assessment ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning from the outset.

Ongoing management involves regular follow-up appointments to monitor treatment response, optimize dosing, and manage any adverse effects. OCD treatment typically requires sustained medication use, and our approach prioritizes long-term symptom control and quality of life improvement.

Anxiety FAQs

What are common signs of anxiety?
Clinically significant anxiety presents as excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbance, and somatic symptoms such as muscle tension or increased heart rate.
How do you treat anxiety?
We conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and prescribe evidence-based medications. Treatment plans are individualized and reviewed regularly at our Boulder-area practice.
How long does it take for anxiety medication to work?
Onset of action varies by medication class. SSRIs and SNRIs typically require 4 to 6 weeks for full therapeutic effect. We schedule follow-ups to assess response and tolerability.
Do I need a referral to be seen for anxiety?
No. Patients across the Boulder and Front Range area can self-refer and schedule a psychiatric evaluation directly with our office.
Can anxiety get better with medication alone?
Many patients achieve meaningful symptom improvement through medication management alone. We use validated assessment tools to measure your progress objectively.
