Is it true that cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention reduces symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed reviews and meta-analytic sources state that cognitive behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention is an effective, first-line treatment that reduces obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, with one meta-analysis reporting 42-52% remission rates.
