Medication is considered one of the first-line treatment options for OCD, but finding the right one is highly individualized and there is no single "best" calming medicine for OCD. The most effective options are usually Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by helping to regulate serotonin levels in the brain.
