For many people with OCD, the path to getting diagnosed isn’t quick — it’s a journey that can take over a decade. In fact, the average time it takes to receive an accurate OCD diagnosis is 17 years. Dr. Patrick McGrath knows this all too well. In this video, he shares why OCD is so often missed, how even well-meaning therapists can overlook the signs, and what the actual diagnostic process looks like when done right.
Through personal stories and clinical insight, Dr. McGrath walks viewers through the real markers of OCD — not just what you’ve seen in movies. He explains why intrusive thoughts and mental compulsions often go unnoticed, how shame and secrecy play a role, and what it finally takes to get the help you need. If you've spent years wondering what's really going on in your mind, this video might be the moment things finally make sense.
