Welcome to the Center for OCD and Related Disorders
|
|
Our mission at the Center is to improve the lives of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders. We do this by conducting cutting-edge research to advance our understanding of all aspects of the disorder, so that we can develop new and better treatments.
We are currently actively recruiting for our new study to determine who can achieve wellness through a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP), and then safely come off of their OCD medication while still maintaining wellness.
If you would like to participate in this study, or for more information, please call Dr. Marcia Kimeldorf at (212) 543-5462. You can also read more about the study at www.ocdtreatmentstudy.com. If you would like to participate in research or contribute to our research fund, please contact us at 212-543-5367.
