WOW,I just realized something the problem isn't that I have the thought...the problem is it causes me enough anxiety to the point that I have to act on it to make it go away instead of just letting it pass on it's own even tho it causes me anxiety...that is soooo hard to do.
Thank you Dr Patrick 😊Health anxiety is the pits when you have real chronic medical conditions/ drug side effects like myself. My respiratory consultant has started me on a nightly dose of 15 mg of Mirtazapine. I'm currently on day 7. Could we access your therapy team via the UK 🇬🇧 , time zones taken into consideration? 😊
Dr Patrick, can transcranial magnetic stimulation help recreate new learning pathways for ocd suffers and synergise treatment effectiveness hand-in-hand with ERP? Medication does not help with this as far as we know. Thank you so much in advance for your feedback!
I’m currently associating every single action of mine (not wanting it to be a conpulsion) feeling like it is a compulsive, because I’m getting so worse. I don’t know what’s happening and feel like I’m spiralling into a hole of guilt. Im feeling like my mind has completely stopped working at the moment, and I don’t know what is going on. Like stuck in a black hole.
Update: interesting, a day before I was fearing the exact thing: I didn’t want to feel like im in a black hole. I guess OCD makes worst fears come true to see us going crazy.
OCD doesn’t have to rule your life. Visit learn.nocd.com/YT to get started with effective treatment.
Dr. Patrick McGrath is a legend, I love this man so much. Thank you for everything you do for us.

This video is awesome!!! Dr. McGrath is so great and the best in the business at teaching about OCD!
Thanks for the awareness on ocd Dr Patrick
i hate it when ocd makes you repeat things if they don't feel right
Dr. M is awesome!
