Can OCD tendencies naturally decrease with age?

Tendencies that occur when we are young can sometimes intensify as we age. This is what I have experienced, and see in my friends the same age as I due to hormonal changes. Hormones help us keep on a even keel, and when they are gone we are more helpless than ever. We need more support than ever as we age, and it is very difficult to find. The younger people are not much help, as they have very little resources to draw from. Older people can draw comfort from each other, as we understand the problems each of us face. Problems concerning our future that the younger generation doesn't give much thought to.

In my experience, they did. When I was little, I had OCD that severely impacted my daily life. It was really hard for me to do any basic tasks without my tendencies taking control of me, but as time went on they started to lessen and didn't affect me as much anymore. While some tendencies have eased down, others have left completely. I'm not sure if they will naturally decrease with age for everyone, but I know that they did for me. I hardly notice my OCD anymore and it no longer takes as big of a toll on my life as it did before.

I'm only 15, but my tendencies have only gotten worse in the 8 years I've had them. It's possible, though, that as I enter adulthood and beyond, they will decrease.

People who suffer from OCD often learn coping strategies to handling their condition (such as practicing different ways of handling a situation). Otherwise, OCD is not something that depends on a certain age.

These tendencies likely will not decrease naturally with age, unless there is some form of intervention and help from a counsellor. These tendencies naturally decrease with exposure therapy and challenging those thoughts, and that does not happen very often naturally.

it depends really as when you age they can decrease but most of the time the tendencias will not leave someone who has ocd

No they don't. OCD is a progressive disorder and in fact, if left unattended, it gets worse. For OCD to get better, it is important to get it treated. Either through psychotherapy, or through medication, or sometimes both.

In my personal experience, OCD is on a spectrum. Symptoms may increase or decrease based on anxiety levels or based on whatever situation someone may find themselves in.

No, OCD will always be there. Remember Tesla? His OCD caused him his loneliness and emotions downfall. So, make sure you surround yourself with a lot of good people. Otherwise, prepare for the worst time ever.

It's hard to say, I believe it varies from person to person. Some, like myself, have OCD tendencies present from very early childhood, while some may develop obsessive-compulsive symptoms much later in life, so stating that it 'decreases with age' is a moot point. However, you may notice that you are able to cope better with symptoms as time moves on. As you are constantly learning coping strategies every day, this can definitely impact the severity of tendencies over time. For myself, I know that my tendencies fluctuate over time: while they have definitely decreased a lot with my acknowledging the signs and symptoms, I can still sometimes have step backs. This is okay, as this is a part of the healing process.
