Summary
This study tests a four-day intensive therapy called Bergen Four-Day Treatment (B4DT) for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). About 35 patients will receive the therapy, which involves exposure and response prevention exercises over four days, followed by three months of independent practice. The goal is to see if this short, intensive approach can reduce OCD symptoms and be successfully integrated into Finland's healthcare system.
