What does it really mean to have OCD? In today's episode Professor Paul Salkovskis explains the various manifestations of OCD and their corresponding behaviours, we discover why OCD is an “affliction of the nice”, why the average sufferer waits 11 years before seeking treatment, why the media and general public think it’s okay to mock the condition, and why ultimately OCD is "an unnecessary illness".
