Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) | Allison Britz

S2 EP #3: Allison Britz developed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, also known as OCD,  upon having a nightmare that she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She began to do everything she could to stop the cancer in her dream from becoming a reality by avoiding certain objects, food and clothing. It got to the point where she had barely any “safe” clothes to wear and weighed 90 pounds. In this conversation, Allison shares what it was like to live with OCD and the different therapies she tried to better understand how these obsessions developed and how to better control the compulsions.
