- NOCD, EPISODE 4
For people in ERP therapy, too much emphasis often gets put on "exposure" and not enough gets put on HOW to do "response prevention" -- even though the RP is key. In today's episode, Stephen will interview leading OCD doctors Kimberly Quinnlan, LMFT, Dr. Patrick McGrath, PhD Dr. L Kevin Chapman, Phd and Dr. Jamie Feusner, MD. They'll chat about "response prevention" techniques and make time to answer community questions.

ABOUT NOCD
Are you overwhelmed by disturbing, repetitive thoughts that you don't want to be having? Do these thoughts center on things you care about, or values that you hold as an individual? Have they forced you to stop doing things you used to enjoy, or being around people you love?
If this sounds like you, you might be living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - an intense anxiety disorder characterized by unwanted intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and fear-minimizing behaviors (compulsions). In this series, OCD advocate and NOCD founder, Stephen Smith, will walk viewers through the recommended treatment for OCD: Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. He'll bring on doctors, sufferers and friends to explain the process and shed light on their experiences with recovery.
ABOUT MADE OF MILLIONS
The Made of Millions foundation is a global advocacy nonprofit on a mission to change how the world perceives mental health.
Each year, millions of people around the world are diagnosed with a mental health condition. People of every age, country, gender and ethnicity. Millions more go undiagnosed, and are forced to battle their symptoms without the care and support they deserve.
As sufferers, we know their pain. We know the isolation they experience at the hands of cultural stigma. We know the anger they feel at media outlets who misrepresent their conditions. And we know the frustration they have with healthcare systems that make it impossible to find help. The Made of Millions Foundation wants to heal this pain.
Using the power of art, media and digital technology, we’re on a mission to transform how the world perceives mental health. And in doing so, create a safer and more inclusive future for sufferers everywhere.

There's a distinction to draw between the thoughts that define you and create your personal value system that defines who you are and the random thoughts that might pop into your head.
Awesome!
Been suffering from this for over 25yrs iam absoloutly disfuctional in crisiss
25 yrs that's crazy.. Is it still as bad as when you first got ocd?
gotta love all the awareness that's doing no good for people when they can't afford the damn treatment... So we suffer because we can't afford it... And eventually just sit back wait till the day comes when you can't handle it anymore and you decide to bite a bullet...
I’m poor too but if u have at least a minimum wage job, u can get health insurance for cheap from the government. that’s what i do
Well, that's also why they're trying to also bring awareness to online programs that can help too. Programs that are free.
Here's my mom's story. My mom (54 yrs old)with a severe OCD has isolated herself for 2 years straight without stepping out of her apartment, refusing to accept any medical treatments and ain't letting me or anyone visit her or answer the phone. Her condition started to settle about 10 years ago when she couldn't work anymore and the symptoms became uncontrollable in the past two years. I remembered that she suddenly asked me to stop eating because she thought there's something wrong with the dish when we were out eating. She continues to imagine and think what'd go wrong if she goes out and so on. My parents were divorced when I was 10, she's been with my stepfather since I was around 14, now I'm turning 27. I just really don't know what to do now, I need help! I know she's suffering, but I don't see the way out at all!
I have existential ocd probably. I just cant stop thinking if i really hear see and even feel the real things. Sometimes it pops into my mind if even the people whom i am talking to are even real and what if not. Sure i am trying to neutralise these things. I am also affraid if they are true that I am completely alone in this world. It is really terrible. I am affraid imaginating that i will ever completely believe these thoughts and be crazy. I am now taking zoloft 150mg, before i was taking 100mg. I think it helped a lot but now in this corona crisis it started again. Im also taking neurol 0,25 for anxiety for two days now. I am not sure if these helps. It happened to me many times in my life even when I didn’t take any medics. Very interesting is that these thoughts went time to time away and I was completely without symptomes for one year and then it started again. I am sometimes affraid i am going to be crazy. I also have the some kind of hypochondria. When i find something unusual on my body i just must check it almost all day long. This “what if” illness is terrible.
What if i am in recovery but I do not want to take medication? Also, what if I am very sesistant in the ERP treatment?
I had an ocd son, age 26, may i know if what possible treatment for him aside from medication. Is there a good theraphy that you may suggest? May you help my son ?
Where can I get help with no insurance?
Is it common that i have disgust thoughts about people going to toilet and such things that it causes drop of my motivation to meet women cause i imagine them having to use toilet and such things?
Hi I have OCD

But keep the awareness up, no one will care except for the Dr's getting paid...
