For those who live with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), the changes in daily life can be debilitating and hard to manage.
Whether it’s wiping countertops, disinfecting belongings we frequently touch, washing our hands or wearing face masks, it may feel unusual and sometimes exhausting.
People with OCD generally have unwanted, intrusive thoughts, or impulses that are called obsessions. In order to make the obsessions go away, those who suffer from OCD do different actions in attempt to push those thoughts out of their head. These are called compulsions. “We are able to see people across the country and they have access to evidence-based treatments from our OCD-trained therapists that we have through NOCD. It is a face-to-face, where I can see the person I'm talking to, and the beautiful thing is with the things that people are afraid of ... I could watch somebody actually participate in the therapy, and I can direct people as they're working on their therapy,” Dr. McGrath shared.
