OCD treatment timelines vary significantly by treatment type, but having realistic expectations matters enormously for staying committed. Many people abandon treatment prematurely because they expect faster results or don't understand that early response doesn't mean full response.

In this blog, we explain what counts as trauma when discussing OCD onset, how late-onset OCD differs from childhood-onset, why some traumatic experiences trigger OCD while others don't, and why treating the OCD symptoms alone often isn't enough.
