Does mindfulness help with OCD?

Researchers found that mindfulness meditation had “a significant and large effect” on OCD symptoms, specifically on thought-action fusion (again, the belief that having a thought is the same as acting on the thought), and the ability to “let go” of unwanted thoughts.

Can OCD be treated with meditation?

Meditation and other activities that promote well-being and a sense of calmness can help manage your OCD symptoms. But doctors and therapists say they're just one part of treating the condition. Hershfield likes meditation's ability to reel in fearful narratives and bring your attention back to the present.
