Uma's Experience with OCD Treatment and Continued Struggles
Uma has been undergoing exposure and response prevention (ERP) treatment for OCD and PTSD since 2021, resulting in significant gains. However, OCD is a chronic condition, and despite improvement, Uma still struggles with severe and sometimes moderate symptoms. She continues to practice ERP to manage her OCD and experiences difficulties with mental compulsions and deeply rooted themes. While ERP has been helpful for surface-level obsessions, Uma acknowledges that her ongoing struggle with OCD is still a significant part of her life.
