In this episode, we are going to continue our series with OCD & Addiction with a specific focus on the concept of Tolerance.

OCD is a mental health disorder in which people have recurring unwanted thoughts called obsessions, that produce anxiety and they engage in ritualistic behaviors called compulsions to neutralize their unwanted feelings.

Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness.

Tolerance the capacity to endure continued subjection to something, especially a drug, transplant, antigen, or environmental conditions, without adverse reaction. Tolerance plays a key role in how compulsions, and addictive behaviors, grow in our lives.

So in this episode, we are going to discuss what is tolerance and its role in OCD and Addiction recovery.
