I am new here. Struggling with severe OCD on a daily basis.

Currently, I am taking many medications, just to stay stable.

The medicines are not helping in any OCD symptoms.

Why am I not able to find a caring, supportive, knowledge of OCD, therapist ?

It is just so frustrating.

Welcome.

Good therapists are out there, but they are indeed hard to find. Starting with the IOCDF website or a local OCD support group to get recommendations for therapists seems like the best way to go. Both the support group and therapists should be listed here:

iocdf.org/ocd-finding-help/...

and their general guidelines for screening therapists is:

Medication with ERP has been proved as the best treatment for OCD. I didn't had special OCD therapist. bcoz of this I couldn't get Right treatment. I took medicine for about 3 yr without any desirable improvement. BT reading articles related OCD has helped me to fill the need of OCD therapist. I watched OCD therapist videos on YouTube. You too can help urself even if you couldn't get OCD therapist.Now I am doing ERP at my own. It's possible. Knowledge of OCD is very vital factor for managing OCD.
