Conventional OCD treatment options

There are a few ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of OCD. This can include:

  • Psychological therapies, especially CBT with exposure and response prevention
  • Medication, such as SSRIs
  • Finding a good support network

Although some people may find relief with a combination of the above, for others it simply isn’t enough.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, more commonly referred to as OCD, is a mental health condition. It’s characterised by:

  • Obsessive thoughts: urges or images enter the mind, causing unease and anxiety
  • Compulsive behaviours: a repetitive act that helps relieve these obsessive thoughts

When traditional treatments have not provided effective relief from symptoms or have caused unwanted side effects, medical cannabis may be considered.

Medical Cannabis and Mental Health

Your safety is our priority

As a Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated clinic, we are subject to independent oversight and regulation and operate in accordance with strict clinical governance protocols to ensure every patient receives responsible care.

We consider medical cannabis only when conventional ADHD medications or therapies have not provided sufficient relief or have caused unwanted side effects.

Consultations do not guarantee a prescription. Our clinicians only prescribe when there is a clear unmet clinical need and it is deemed safe for the patient. 

Every prescription is validated by a specialist doctor and reviewed by a secondary clinical board to ensure suitability.

We will notify your NHS GP of your treatment plan to ensure your medical records are kept up to date. To ensure we care for you in the safest way possible we may ask to reach out to other people involved in your care.
