Is cbt is effective for problem solving impirement in OCD patients?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is considered effective for addressing problem-solving impairments in patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). By challenging maladaptive thought patterns and encouraging adaptive coping strategies, CBT helps patients develop more effective problem-solving skills. Techniques such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) specifically target OCD symptoms, allowing individuals to confront their fears and reduce compulsive behaviors, ultimately enhancing their overall cognitive functioning. Research supports the efficacy of CBT in improving both OCD symptoms and related cognitive deficits.
