The University of Florida Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The University of Florida Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (UFOCD) Program of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the leading clinical program for the evaluation and treatment in the southeastern United States. We specialize in treating severe or treatment-resistant OCD, offering comprehensive evaluations, expert consultations, novel biological treatments, cognitive-behavioral therapy (intensive and weekly), and research studies. We treat adults, adolescents, and children with OCD, Tourette Syndrome (TS), and related disorders in our Gainesville, Florida location. Being located in the heart of a major medical center, we can also perform comprehensive diagnostic tests as appropriate.

Our cognitive behavior therapy program has been in existence for 20 years. Our program at the University of Florida provides weekly and intensive outpatient cognitive behavior therapy. During the cognitive behavioral treatment patients may be seen for psychopharmacological or medication treatment as well. Most patients (~80-85%) receive at least a 50% or greater reduction in symptoms, and many also show a marked reduction in depressive symptoms.
