The only way I can manage these emotions is to engage in some kind of unhealthy behavior. And so what we actually end up doing is reinforcing the negative behavior. That circuit seems to be what's hyperactive in OCD. So this has been a kind of a really quick overview of OCD. There's a lot more that we could talk about in terms of like what psychotherapy for OCD is like, the neuroscience of OCD is really fascinating. Even psychoanalytic perspectives on OCD are really fascinating.
OCD affects us all differently, but the impact can be overwhelming 💔. Join Dr. K in this episode as he delves into the world of OCD and how to manage it ðŸ§
