OCD decides where you're going to stop, what you can do, all the rules of your life and through treatment, what we're doing is moving OCD into the backseat. And what that really means is we're empowering the youth or the adult to decide when and how to face their fears, instead of having OCD make those decisions for them, because the only way past a fear is through it.
What really goes into treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? In this episode of 'Clinician Cast: Youth Mental Health and Addictions Treatment Network Podcast', Dr. Alexa Bagnell and Dr. Ann Marie Joyce from the IWK Health Centre dive into the intricacies of OCD treatment.
