OCD is one of the top reasons that people file for disability
across the world and it only gets worse when left untreated. But
it is often (and very problematically) brushed off as a silly
quirk or something that will pass. Today on Hope Pieced Together,
the founder of The OCD Institute and The Peace of Mind
Foundation, Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale, joins us to discuss all
things OCD and mental health. Tuning in, you’ll hear a detailed
explanation of what obsessive-compulsive disorder is, how it
manifests, the devastating nature it has on peoples’ lives, why
devaluing the impact of OCD affects treatment, and the
differences between OCD and anxiety. We delve into Dr.
McIngvale’s own OCD experience before discussing how her OCD
affected her mother. Our guest even talks us through what a good
OCD diagnosis looks like, shares advice for parents who think
their children have OCD, and talks about how she helps her
patients trust their treatment teams, and so much more! Dr.
McIngvale tells us why she hates social media and how it’s
changed the landscape of mental health issues. She even talks
about how we can protect minors from the kinds of dangers that
social media brings, and her hopes are for it to become a safe
educational platform in the future. Finally, Dr. McIngvale
reminds us that the right treatment exists for any mental illness
and it can save lives. Thank you for listening!
