CBT, particularly with ERP, is considered the gold standard treatment for OCD and is effective for many types of OCD. However, the effectiveness can vary depending on the individual's specific symptoms, the severity of the disorder, and their commitment to the therapy process.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are typically considered the best medication treatment for OCD. SSRIs like fluoxetine, sertraline, and paroxetine are often prescribed to help reduce the symptoms of OCD by affecting serotonin levels in the brain, which can be particularly effective when combined with CBT. 

Yes, CBT is a safe and effective treatment for children and adolescents with OCD. Therapists tailor the approach to suit the age and developmental level of the child, often incorporating family involvement to support the child through the treatment process.

The time it takes to see improvement from the best therapy for OCD can vary widely among individuals. Some may notice significant improvements within 12 to 20 sessions, while others might need longer therapy to manage their symptoms effectively.
