OCD care through telehealth
LisaCare Psychiatry and Wellness lists obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) among its specialties and provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management through telehealth. An evaluation can help clarify your concerns and determine which services or referrals fit your needs.
Understanding obsessions and compulsions
The National Institute of Mental Health describes OCD as a long-lasting disorder involving uncontrollable recurring thoughts, called obsessions, repetitive behaviors, called compulsions, or both. These symptoms can take significant time, cause distress or interfere with daily life.
You can discuss unwanted thoughts, repeated behaviors and their effect on daily life during a psychiatric evaluation. Ask which therapy options are available and whether care would involve an outside therapist or specialist.
Questions to bring to LisaCare
- Which thoughts, urges or repeated behaviors are causing concern?
- How much time do they take, and how do they affect daily life?
- What previous diagnoses, therapy or medications should be reviewed?
- Would medication management fit my needs?
- Would LisaCare coordinate care with an OCD-focused therapist or another clinician?
Medication management includes review, prescribing when appropriate, monitoring and treatment adjustments. Prescribing scope and follow-up frequency must be confirmed with LisaCare. No medication or outcome is guaranteed.
