She Was Hospitalized 29 Times Before Anyone Realized It Was OCD

They said she was beyond help. After 29 hospitalizations, no one had any answers. Tracie Ibrahim was just 10 years old when a single question from a doctor spiraled her into nearly a decade of psychiatric holds, misdiagnoses, and overmedication. They labeled her with everything from depression to schizophrenia, but no one stopped to consider the truth behind her thoughts — behind the compulsions, behind the fear.

In this episode of Get to Know OCD, Tracie shares the raw, powerful story of how untreated OCD shaped her childhood, how she eventually uncovered the therapy that finally worked, and how she now uses that same method to help others heal as NOCD's Chief Compliance Officer.
