Teaching about the importance of medication compliance to combat OCD is essential. It is neither possible nor desirable to keep the client's diagnosis a secret. To accomplish tasks efficiently, the client initially may need additional time to allow for rituals. When the client has completed the ritual or the tie allotted has passed, the client must then engage in the expected activity. At home, the client can continue to follow a daily routine or written schedule that helps him or her to stay on tasks and accomplish activities and responsibilities. It is not helpful for others to give unsolicited advice about other activities the client with OCD can engage in as this will add to the guilt and shame that people with OCD experience.
