OCD: The Reality, the Research, the Recovery—Part Two
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is so vast and perplexing, Valerie and Helen devoted two episodes to OCD. They discovered a complex and harrowing mental illness often trivialized and misunderstood by those who don’t have it. To legitimize the severity of the disorder, they turned to the experts. In Part Two, their searching questions are answered by a seasoned OCD professional, Dr. Ginny Fullerton. Her encyclopedic knowledge of OCD encompasses causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment methods and breakthroughs, along with profound insights for individuals battling OCD, their families and loved ones. To supplement this invaluable education, Helen and Valerie urge audiences to listen to Episode 45, which features the miraculous story of Mel, a woman who had OCD from early childhood into her adult life, and who made a heroic recovery.
