I had a 7-week stay in a residential facility for OCD and depression. While there were definitely problems with the way they transitioned me out of the hospital, the treatment I received there was very effective in resolving my OCD symptoms. When I went in, I was so depressed that I was basically a walking zombie. I was obsessing and performing rituals every waking minute. I had dropped out of school and wasn't even living at home due to contamination fears. When I came out, I was about 90% OCD free and was able to resume my life. This hospitalization had a very specific purpose and involved a very specific treatment regimen of CBT/ERP.
