Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, affects approximately 2.2 million adults and 500,000 children in the US. Individuals with OCD often experience impulsive and intrusive thoughts that replay in the mind, in addition to behaviors such as excessive cleaning and repetitive counting. While conventional medicine approaches OCD as a chemical issue, Functional Medicine looks at genetic components, inflammation, gut health, and other lifestyle influences in its treatment of OCD.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman discusses OCD with Dr. George Papanicolaou. They discuss just how debilitating this condition can be and share case studies of how they have treated patients with this condition.
George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Upon graduation from his residency he joined the Indian Health Service. He worked on the Navajo reservation for 4 years at the Chinle Comprehensive Medical Facility where he served as the Outpatient Department Coordinator. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley, MA. He practiced with a philosophy centered on personal relationships and treating the whole person, not just not the disease. He called that philosophy “Whole Life Wellness”. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive this kind of personal care Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health-a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center in 2017.

Separating brain and body always sounded silly to me. The brain is by definition a part of the body
Because it is...without the brain the body is dead.
I'm grateful for this discussion. People in the comments section are able to discuss and help each other
i want to win the lottery so i can be treated by these doctors and finally be healed and live a normal life
Check out the UA-cam channel “Everybody has a brain.” Free tools to improve OCD. Unfortunately these guys miss the mark imo.
Best probiotic is called seed .
You don't need to pay thousands to get healthy, stop eating the crappy food out there, eat organic, stop consuming gluten, wheat, dairy, grains, leave sugar for good, no alcohol, no soft drinks, exercise, drink plenty of water, fast, no bad carbs, eat good fats, vegetables, educate yourself on health, and heal yourself. Doctors are not healers, our own bodies are the healers, it does it on its own if you allow it to.
Me too for my son 😢😢😢
Make your own Kefir.
such a great informative video! thanks for all that you do!
That's it, i'm booking an appointment at the Ultra Wellness Center
I probably am, too. And asking for Dr P to be my doctor
I am obsessive about understanding my ocd. Who is with me?
me hi!
Absolutely! And I had an abusive narcissistic mother. I have been obsessed with trying to understand narcissist personality disorder as well.
I’m with you…I’m drowning. Always trying to solve the problem…it never gets solved…
Wow this must be my thread, I’m obsessed with narcissism as well, raised in a narcissistic family system.
Me
Finally drs that have a brain and listen! My god i wish you could help me and save me ive been so sick since a child and undiagnosed with OCD and ptsd, systemical thrush all through my body since a child making me so sick, constant suicidal thoughts, buzzing in my head, allergies, distention of my stomach i look 6 months pregnant, burning of my bladder like constant bladder infections, allergies to animals, foods, etc. Flash backs, panic attacks, anxiety. Itching in the vagina constantly, brain fog, constant negative thoughts, trauma from childhood, the list goes on. I can't deal with life its so hard to live. Always wishing someone would save me from my hell.
I have sibo too
This is exactly me!! I finally found out I have CIRS. Carnivore diet has helped a lot but CIRS treatment is needed to fully heal.
Oh wow!! what is CIRS please ?
@@ALeishaGrey88 Please try remove Gluten, you sound the same as my Daughter was before she removed it from her diet! I was getting numerous suicidal calls from her each week and since she has removed this crap from her diet...not one, not one call and she is soooo much calmer, hardly any anxiety, clear headed and less medical episodes with this, that & the other! Good luck i wish you well :)
@@thestu7066Oh wow thankyou for sharing! That's incredible!!!!! I will definitely go gluten free, I need to heal its been way too long. Thankyou ❤
9:25 probiotics for ocd
Thank you. What is the name of the genetic analysis in which you found the blueprint of the enzyme?
Yes, IBS leaky gut can cause issues with serotonin production. Fixing leaky gut is a short term solutions to treat OCD because that will not rewire the brain effectively. Long term answer is addressing the underlying childhood trauma. By saying that if one can overcome addictions to excess fatty and sugary food, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, party street drugs, social media, music, technology, shopping etc and become minimalist for 6 months, there is a big chance that OCD should become lot less.
WHOOPS! I was very sick with chronic fatigue. AFTER my husband died from a prescription medicine (AVODART-used for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) I was grieving and simply started fasting. Then I went to one meal a day (having never heard of OMD). I stopped wheat and milk. I took a multiple vitamin with B6 and zinc. I got better for one year. Thought I was well. Not sure but I think mold is the issue. Please address mycotoxins! It’s like the elephant in the room here guys!
Just listened to compelling interviews about black mold, yeast proliferation from EMFs 5G and also, the jab.
are you talking about OCD or something else?
You two are so smart! I wish I had somebody like you guys here in St Pete Florida to work on me. Symptoms: swollen feet lower legs, Brain fog, bph, dry i
Functional medicine and natural treatments are the best. If only conventional inept doctors practiced real medicine we wouldn't be as sick.
We need more functional medicine being practiced
You were talking about strep, lime etc causing OCD, Autism (schizophrenia in other episodes). And potential treatment of the cause relieving the symptoms. Is it only implied when the cause is an environmental trigger? How do (if they do) the same symptoms get relieved if the cause is a gene mutation?
Not just CBT, but ERP. These docs need to specify Exposure response prevention, because thats whats actually effective
Any tips on how to deal with OCPD?
They mention that people with OCD may lack certain strains of bacteria in their gut. But which ones? How do you reintroduce those?
To use time to reply to comments, obviously not does not appeal enough money wise. Typical. Lukas, Denmark.
By eating a varied fresh fruit and vegetable diet, clean red meat and water. No wheat, bread or legumes and ease on the fake dairy.
I have sleep apnea and memory problems
does George treat ppl who are not from the USA. How will he do the testing for them?
Had it since 8 years old...father, his sister, maternal grandmother also but it became unbearable after major dental work with mercury fillings between 6th and 7th grade! Dental mill dentistry is real...I quit going to the dentist with one more appointment supposedly to fill one more....3 years later had a toothache, went to new dentist..got teeth cleaned and had a little sore gum...that's all...no cavities...they used me and filled my mouth with mercury
...also at time of first round of fillings depression entered...happy ending? Yes, understanding what it was and now later in life diet changes and intermittent fasting has brought so much good change and no one that has known me can deny it...I am still using cognitive behavior techniques to help me but the depression is lighter and I don't stay stuck and exhausted anymore...no medications...I have been better for over 12 years...my doctors are also impressed.
Yay, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Also clean and heal your liver.
Milk Thistle.
Check out the You Tube Channels of Dr. Eric Berg DC and Dr. Alan Mandell ( the motivationaldoc ). They both address how to clean and heal your liver. ❤️
Anyone know any good doctors like this in New Jersey?
do you take insurance at least for the lab work?
Does anyone know of any professionals such as these two doctors in the LA area? Their assessments make so much sense I need a doctor to look into everything wrong with me lol
Dr. Pearl Zimmerman in OC. She is a functional Dr and MD too. She is great, but does not take insurance as most functional Drs.
@@mariarangella Do you know of any in Michigan?
There has to be a website for functional doctors. I'm not sure the AMA website or referral line would really provide the names of truly functional doctors for you.
Where and how can I get an appointment with Dr. Papanicolaou for my daughter?
You can look up the ultrawellness center. That's where they work. You can do zoom if you're too far.
On the website it says nothing about treating OCD
"It is in your head."
Is a dismissive statement generally said when the "medical care provider" is "clueless."
I was once told that my plantar fasciitis was only in my head!
Exactly. Just moronic, egotism at it's finest
If it doesn’t involve pills, potions, or surgeries, it’s not talked about much in any medical schools anywhere.
At 21 min he mention enzyme/select gene that slows breakdown of dopamine/norepinephrine? I know I have slow comt met/met..."target therapy??" What did i miss??
I’ve had OCD since childhood, my stool test shows I have low diversity of bacteria but ironically Lactobacillus is one of the few species of bacteria I have plenty of... lol
I'm trying to increase my gut microbes. Never thought I would ever buy sourkraut. Next trip to grocery store I will buy Keyshia.
Please pleas please offer your help to Life Site News host JohnHenry Weston for his daughter who just was diagnosed with Hashimotos
I have this and it has lead to repetitive and destructive behaviors that I feel a entire lack of control over like I hate getting wet or gettinging dirty I hate certain textures and foods. On the other hand repetitive addictions like alcohol (beat it) Porn ( still struggling). Panic attacks over things not being clean but not having the energy to do anything about it due to my chronic fatigue which leads me to feeling like I'm going to explode. When I was a kid it was smaller things like my shoe laces had to be just so my shoes had to be super tight as a teen it was my shirts had to be a certain way where I was constantly adjusting them. If I feel anything should be a certain way I have to make it that way over and over again until I at some point get over it do to boredom or personal growth or something like that. The worst part is the constant war in my head obsessing over my thoughts of what others are thinking about me which makes going out in public tortures for me. Ps I have Arthritis in all my joints and I'm 34. I had earinfections and Sinus infections my whole childhood I had strep in my knee and almost lost my leg and I had Lymes as a Toddler.
Never give up! In my case, my faith changed everything...it closed the door to some options and gave me a reason to hope. I also believe that the organic biological reasons can be figured out and although different in each of us, it can be done. I pray that you find faith in the God of the Bible and hope in His Word but also that all the tools you need to get better are made clear to you. Keep moving forward and never condemn yourself...keep searching and you will find answers. I truly hope you go the route of faith and functional medicine. Diet is the big change.

Excellent.

My friend has OCD. It's a negative feedback loop of intense fixation. From a psycho-spiritual approach it can be viewed as intrapsychic predation. Mind parasites are real!
Separate however, one might consider brain parasites ...gut- brain axis. Few are investigating the relationship.
Help Me 🙏
Hi. Lukas, middleaged man, diagnosed with severe treatment resistant OCD since childhood. Got disability pension a few years after highschool. The doctors unsuccessfully tried multiple treatment approaches, but eventually gave up. Have thus become a middleaged man with no work, home, friends, hobbies or a meaningfull life. Gave up hope to find a cure many years ago, so expect absolutally to find no CURE as old age approaches, but will ask you guys anyway if somebody has knowledge of a proven CURE.Thanks. Lukas, Denmark.
Okay, as expected.
FUCK.
I take nicotine gum and i don't have OCD anymore. I truly believe OCD is a type of autism.
how does nicotine gum help
@@mcovarrubias7372 completely takes my OCD away.
Nicotinic acids are in the gut and brain and heart. Interesting that worked for you. What was your protocol?
OCD for me was primarily an executive functioning issue. Certain things wouldn't register as having been completed. Eventually, I got wise to that and started to hold the dials more gently and slowly turn them until my hand slipped. The result was that it would generally register. Then, I'd just not check it again, I'd accept that it was done and I wouldn't check unless I had some specific reason to believe that this time I hadn't done it.
I would love to have Dr P treat my OCD! Oh wait! It’s an Abilify deficiency!! Hmmm. Maybe I’ll call the Ultra Wellness Center tomorrow.
I feel the same way. Before 1987, there was no Prozac. Record numbers of OCD/depression and anxiety since.
My daughter came down with it at age 8 after strep throat
maybe after the antibiotics?
We have functional medicine… therefore, it would be a quality assumption to say that the alternative is… dysfunctional.
@Prathik definitely agree that conventional, western medicine is good for acute injuries.
OCD is rarely genetic though there is some evidence. The genetic correlation is extremely less. It is mainly childhood trauma related. I know this for a fact as someone who experienced OCD since I was around 18 years. Fortunately I was able to see many things that happened in my past and what triggered the OCD. OCD is the aftermath of trauma.
I have it as well, but I guess I've hid it well. My son refuses to believe I have it. I never wanted to burden him with my trauma, so I guess I did a good job.
That sound familiar
My son has OCD. He had no trauma. He did have Strep so many times I took him out of school to be less active in 6th grade. He went on to become regional tennis and golf. He still has OCD at 36. I’m so tired of mental illness in my family. My mother was bipolar; my other son is bipolar. I’m sure my mother had stress. Her sister is bipolar. Both my mom and her sister had gut issues with diarrhea.
The problem is, trauma affects those who have these genetics, otherwise trauma might cause another ailment.
These doctors have me taking pages of notes and I’m already familiar with functional medicine.
Issue is getting CARE AND TREATMENT THE CORRECT WAY.
Finally someone spoke the truth rather than the psychiatric myth
@@susanjannarone135 Actually Strep infection is also a result of a childhood trauma according to center for infectious diseases. Please do some research. Trauma does not mean a major event like an an accident for a little child. Trauma can be caused by a child not feeling safe for whatever reason where he or she never expressed to the mother of what he found uncomfortable because sometimes kids worry to share certain tings and keep things to them selves. . Good news is OCD can be attacked in 2 ways using supplements that help OCD and anxiety, TMS as well as working on healing deeply rooted traumas. If he is avoiding something and OCD rituals are the way for him to feel safe, he knows what things he is avoiding.
Caffeine & sugar.

My son is only 7 and he just started having it really bad. He has inherited it from his dad. I am researching how I can help my little guy. I've always worried he would have it, but having it at 7 really petrifies me as I know first hand how debilitating this condition can be. It is 100% genetically for my son, but exacerbated by exposure to my husband. If it is indeed connected to the gut, then it is also genetic. Otherwise, how else do you explain my son having it so bad that early on ?
The root cause could be genetic but ocd is a symptom of something else going on in the body. Look into pans/pandas. Gut dysbiosis. Mold. Heavy metals.
Find a good functional medicine doctor!
you haven't scratched the surface yet. Genetics play a part, but truthfully you will find there is way more that is affecting your child. For instance did you give him childhood vac's? does he eat gluten & dairy? These are some of the main culprits. Then strep or Lyme is a huge one!! there are multiple tests that can be done through functional doctors and they can help. there is a root cause more so then inherited. I would try and go carnivore diet and rid the rest of the junk.
@@jjpauline1828 absolutely no to carnivore diet especially a child are you crazy? The carnivore diet messed me up more than anything just quit gluten dairy refined sugars soya emulsifiers and seed oils and check for any other food intolerances like eggs bananas strawberries (histamine foods) and nightshades or do an elimination diet
Bingo..genetics and environment. You know, at age 7...I highly doubt OCD existed like that in 1900 before modern life took over. Is there a chemical cause in the food, medicine, vaccines, water? Maybe, but who's gonna pay for that study? I feel for your son, the great thing is meds can help..but it is dangerous to be on them so young. Has he gotten help?
52:44 i disagree that FODMAP foods feed bad bugs. more specifically, polyols and oligosaccharides. in fact, inulin is a prebiotic fiber and an oligosaccharide.
The microbes adapt to new food sources or in the presence of polyols and alkaloids and such, they can also turn pathogenic. All a delicate balance which we're fairly ignorant of.
what is ocd??
obsessive compulsive disorder
@@Lillian584 not clear to me
In 2nd interview, I would like it if Mark would let the guest could finish his sentences. SO frustrating.
Is it too late? I am 73. I don't care much about food. Many foods I can't stand, like pickles, vinegar, saurkraut, shellfish, cranberries, horseradish, radish,
egglplant. I don't care about eating or restaurants or cooking shows because there is so much I cannot eat. So I am uncomfortable with other people, as they are with me.
I have been depressed all my life. I have taken ssri's for the last fifteen yrs but weaned off 6-8 months ago. I am taking gabapentin for a nerve injury.
So you functional med drs cannot just tell me to eat cabbage or whatever.
too much
never mind

Contact me on whatsapp, i have something to tell you. 👆
Hi Linda, How are you doing? Did you take prebiotics?
With the foods you mention, sounds suspicious for histamine intolerance.
Try taking some Bacopa, Spirulina and Withania and 2g of quality fish oil on the daily basis!
