Guest Justonce Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi everyone I am interested in hearing your personal experiences in accessing [CBT] treatment for OCD on the NHS. The purpose of this information is to help me understand how easy or difficult it was/is to get treatment in your area and whether you feel the correct treatment options were offered. Hopefully this will help me when raising awareness about OCD with the media. Thanks in advance . Lucy@OCD-UK Link to comment
Guest fand4eva Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I was diagnosed with ocd after having my 2nd daughter 2003 I also had postnatal depression, i was offered cbt but heard nothing only the amber breathing course, which I completed,things eased off inc the harm thoughts that began towards my youngest daughter leading to an ocd diagnosis, I started having the thoyghts again back in april of this year, I contacted IAPT and they have been pretty fast this time and said I will have a CBT therapist in less than 40 days so 11 years later ive got the help ive needed.

findingithard Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I got CBT within a month of going to the doctors. I have one session left out of 20. I guess it helped a little but I'm still struggling with the 'how real it feels' side of things. Link to comment
Guest Lucy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks findingithard - could you tell me which region you are from? Hope you get more CBT if you need it. Link to comment
