Answer to Question 1

Response prevention refers to the practice of the person engaging in planned prevention of compulsive behaviors when he or she is exposed to the feared event or stimulus. Thus, the person with obsessive-compulsive disorder not only undergoes the process of habituation of fear or anxiety through exposure, but when he or she does not act upon the compulsive urge, through using response prevention, he or she also learns to recognize that a ritual is not necessary to prevent feared outcomes (e.g., the home will not burn down because the stove was not repeatedly checked).

Answer to Question 2

The first line of drug treatment today for most forms of anxiety disorders is the SSRIs since they can be taken daily on a long-term basis with overall better results and fewer complications than other medications. They also reduce any depression symptoms that may accompany anxiety disorders.
