How well do we really understand OCD? In this deeply insightful episode, we sit down with Dr Leigh Sheppard, GP and Founding Director of OCD WA, to break down the science and stigma surrounding obsessive-compulsive disorder.

From her own journey living with undiagnosed OCD for over 30 years to founding a support and education network for those affected, Leigh shares powerful reflections on misdiagnosis, lived experience, and the importance of evidence-based care. We explore the neurobiology of OCD, misconceptions in pop culture, and how OCD is one of the most disabling yet treatable conditions.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about mental health, the science of the mind, or how one person can spark change through courage, advocacy, and honesty.
