Abstract

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is ranked the top 10 of the most handicapping illnesses by lost income and decreased quality of life. Hence the need to overcome OCD is imminent. With the present case of OCD, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure Prevention Response (ERP) were used for treating OCD. Assessment was done using Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale and Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale – Self report. Results show that OCD reduced signicantly after the treatment.
