Episode notes
In this week's fascinating OCD episode, The Speakmans will answer:
- What is an OCD?
- Are we born with it?
- Could it be genetic?
- And if there is a cause, what is this, and how do you find it?
The Speakmans explain the difference between OCD & Pure O, plus discuss why it is we carry out OCD behaviours, as well as sharing the various types of OCDs that they’ve encountered in their clinic.
They question whether intrusive thoughts are in fact just thoughts; discussing the reason we have these, and the science behind them.
The family share the reasons why OCD often accelerates with each passing year, the link between OCD & confirmation bias, and why the 'OCD' label often only makes things worse.
