Terrible! The NHS fails so much when it comes to treating OCD. It really needs to change.

Diagnosis was swift, I did have a wait of several months before CBT was attempted though (waiting lists). CBT was professional and compassionate, but ultimately ineffective. I don't blame the counsellor or the NHS for that though, I think my problems simply go a bit too deep for CBT alone! Overall I'm not complaining - they did all they could, in a totally professional manner and with great kindness.
