Description

Join us in this podcast episode focused on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, where we explore the DSM‑5 criteria, differentiate OCD vs generalized anxiety, and discuss the neurobiological roots of compulsive behavior. We cover practical guidance on exposure response prevention (ERP), using the Yale‑Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale as a screener, and outline medication strategies like high‑dose SSRIs to support psychological treatment. Ideal for clinicians and anyone seeking to understand or treat OCD effectively.
