How to Treat Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Counseling
Counseling that includes psychotherapy or cognitive behavior therapy can help people with OCPD learn to have fun, avoid over-intellectualizing, and address control issues.
Medications
In some cases, anti-depressant medications can help reduce obsessive-compulsive personality traits. However, overall, long-term use of medications for OCPD have not been helpful. They may be used, though, to treat an another condition, like Depression.
