Is there really a cure for OCD?

I was diagnoised with Pure Obsessional OCD when I was in the 8th grade. I've seen numerous psychologists and been told dozens of different techniques on how to over come these intrusive thoughts. I'm on 2 antidepressants, with one working as a sleeping aid. I want to try and get myself off the medication before I become somewhat, dependent on them. Cure or no cure?

There is no discernible cure for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder... but there is excellent treatment for it. When it comes to OCD, the focus shouldn't be on the medication more than it is on therapy. Anti-depressants have been found to help OCD, but seeing a therapist will get down to the root of the issue, rather than putting a band-aid over it.

A number of years ago, which would put me in my early twenties, I was diagnosed with regular OCD. I had some weird symptoms that disturbed me. Guess what? Now I'm 31 and I haven't any of those OCD symptoms in a very long time. The symptoms disappeared on their own.

My advice is give yourself time, you're young. You're doing everything right

No cure...it may just go away on its own.

My best friend has this exact thing. She doesn't have any medication but she find counceling to work really well for her.

As far as I know there is not a cure, only treatments to make it less severe, most of which it seems like you are following.

no, none whatsoever, get used to it .If youre silly enough to take antidepressants, then you are always going to have problems.
Throw the pills away, cos they are the problem, go cold turkey , every day will get a bit better.....good luck.

Free yourself from earthly concerns and go to a peaceful and carefree place, pure countryside, artlessness people, etc.

NO

There is a cure for everyhing.You only have to find it and you will not find it if you do not experiment.You will never know if you do not try.
I believe that most of human illnesses are caused by omega 3 deficiency in your mind and body.

My advice is that you start the omega 3 diet.I have researched omega 3 acids for 2 years and performed a very successful experiment on myself and few of my volunteer friends.Few months of the omega 3 diet i cured my stress[and/or depression] problems permanently and significantly raised my intelligence,improved memory,sight,reflexes[and many other known and unknown benefits]and without any drugs or supplements in the form of pills.

Take two table spoons of grinded flaxseed[rich with omega 3 and cheap]a day[with a glass of water] and in a few months you will start to notice significant improvement in your mental health[you will become more psychologically stable,among other things].Use a coffee grinder.Whole seeds cannot be digested by the hydrochloric acid in our stomach only grinded seeds.A fact and not a assumption.You have nothing to loose only gain by it.There are many articles on the internet about the omega 3.2 years ago before i started the diet i did not feel so stable or happy how i feel today.

Flax is the best source of ALA omega 3 fatty acid which our body converts to more important fatty acids called DHA and EPA.For the efficient conversion to take place,foods containing a large amount of the following nutrients must be consumed along with the flaxseed:C,B3,B6 [vitamins],zink and Magnesium [minerals].I recommend 3 table spoons of flax with 100 grams[or more if to your liking] of almonds,1 kiwi every day.[do not take more then 3 table spoons of flax because large amounts can cause intestinal gases which can cause abdominal pain and/or constipation.If three spoons causes abdominal discomfort lower the dosage to 2 table spoons of grinded flax and elevate it to 3 table spoons after your body adapts to high fiber content].The flaxseed itself is not important.The omega 3 that are inside them are.
