Send us a text
In this episode of Two Shrinks and a Mic, Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross explore obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and the thinking patterns that keep people trapped in endless loops of worry, checking, and self-doubt. They explain what distinguishes OCD from everyday overthinking, why uncertainty feels unbearable for those with the disorder, and how intrusive thoughts can hijack even the calmest mind. From health anxiety and superstition to reassurance-seeking and perfectionism, the doctors break down the psychological and biological roots of OCD—and share hopeful insights on how effective treatments can quiet the noise.
