How to Overcome OCD: The Essential Guide to Breaking Free
This episode provides a comprehensive overview of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It delves into the diagnostic criteria, the neurological abnormalities thought to underlie the disorder, and explores various psychological perspectives. The episode also covers cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), including exposure and response prevention (ERP), the nature of the conditioning response, established treatments, as well as new and emerging treatments. Additionally, it discusses supplementation, nutritional deficiencies commonly associated with OCD, and the phenomenon of voluntary descent before ascent, among many other topics.
This episode is highly detailed, as we intend for it to be a valuable resource for professionals, those diagnosed with OCD, or anyone interested in broadening their understanding of the disorder. Many of the insights provided here, we believe, could be of great help to others, yet they are not widely known, so please consider sharing this episode to those who you feel may benefit from it. As always, thank you for listening, and enjoy the episode!
