Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Mnemonics (Memorable Psychiatry Lecture)

Thank you for your books and videos. Would you consider writing a book or creating videos for advanced psychiatry/psychopharmacology
practitioners that are already seasoned? Maybe clinical practice pearls, deep dives into medication regimens etc..

This made my day. It's so helpful.

As always amazing job please keep up the good work! you have no idea how many people you're helping and actually making a difference!!

This truly is an amazing explanation, its not just about being neat, it's being obsessive about frankly mostly nonsense and the amount of time and energy spent on it to the point of making yourself get constant paranoia and headaches and it only gets more destructive as the loop adapts itself to everything in your life. Thanks You for the explanation, but I wish you would have explained more about how to treat the bad thoughts in your brain than just dealing with physical things like doorknobs.

Amaazinnng!! thank you

Thanks!

I don't clim ladders because as soon as I do, I have thoughts on jumping off, same if I go on any kind of heights or large bodies of water, I'm so afraid that I stay away from this places now

Intrusive thoughts are like those blinking pop-up ads on websites that wont let you proceed further until you give it some kind of attention.

ERP helped me a lot.. Usefull video. Thank you for sharing

I look forward to follow up videos, I was diagnosed today and I feel a little confused but this video cleared some things up! Thank you

Does Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh have ocd?

How do you make animations like these?

this was really validating as someone with ocd. I'm so tired of when I say I have OCD and someone is like "me too! I hate when my pens aren't organized!" Like I wish I could describe to them what a horror it is living with OCD and how much it sucks your life away. I remember seeing an comic-type drawing of a starved wolf, with the caption "I have to keep doing it," and the next picture is like his bloodshot eyes, with the caption "I hate it," a picture of his ribcage, "I'm tired", a picture of his torn up, bleeding feet, "It hurts..." and then it zooms up to a birds eye view and you see that he's walking in a circle over and over, marked by the blood from his feet, with the caption "...but I have to keep doing it."

Like that. Nothing has ever made me feel as seen as that picture. That's exactly what it feels like.

i loved the video

OCD is very strong painful constant impulse with hopelessness, unsatisfactoriness, fearfulness, boringness, anger, tiredness , headache, restlessness, no readiness, withdrawal , and escape.

Thank you

pattern is not a line but a loop
thought -> action (line)
obsession <-> compulsion (loop)

Thanks for your excellent job!

There's a small mistake in the lesson: obsessions are not always ego dystonic in OCD. Check specifications in dsm-5: OCD with good, poor, or absent insight. In the last one obsessions are ego syntonic.

What do you do about intrusive thoughts? They don't always turn into compulsions, they're just there roaming your mind so you can't use this method at the end of the video

Good morning from Greece. I'm apologizing for my English. Would you agree that thinking again and again your past, your choices, just being obsessed with thinking faces, facts, without having compulsions, is more likely a generalized anxiety disorder than OCD?

thank you sooo much for these videos. Your video has made me understand OCD clearly for the first time.

Thank you!

As soon as I heard "did I lock the front door" from the video I was done for.

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

what do you think about "Pure-Obsessive OCD"? aka intrusive thoughts but not acting with compulsion on them or the compulsions happen within ones own mind?
Also, this talks about how the main form of treatment is to disconnect the compulsions from the thoughts through exposure and psychotherapy, but wouldn't that mean that the obsessive thoughts themselves are not actually addressed? only the resulting behaviour?

This video Amazing thank you 🩷

Can you please make video on ocd spectrum disorders

The worst part is trying to explain this to a psychologist and they keep responding with "okay so you have a desire to kill yourself and others". I'm trying to explain to them there's no intent or desire and they keep saying "desire, intent, feeling, thoughts. They are all the same"
Wtf

Very helpful videos. Understandable and clearly laid out. Thank you!

I have mild OCD when it comes to intrusive thoughts and hand washing

I have a client that she wake up different time during the night to smooth her bed so she can rid of of cWrinkles she lives with dementia dementia.

She also tormented herself waiting 3 to 5 hours to be taken to yoga or ice cream or wherever she needs to go she will wake up at 3, 4 or5 in the morning tray to call her daughter or friend and she started waiting and asking me almost every 3 minutes for the time who is coming to pick her and that the person is late and she may not come, etc.

Thankyou you explained it simply !!!

Excellent

Thank you for not turning this into an "OCD = excessive handwashing" video.

Can having ADHD affect how OCD appears in someone?

It's like the brain accuses us of evil crimes and makes us prove we're not guilty. I have tried to respond to these intrusive thoughts and notions by ordering my mind to prove I'm guilty. With no evidence existing that I have done the evil, charges dropped, and case dismissed.
