Understanding OCD: Insights and Treatments

Psychiatrist Dr. Dora-Linda Wang joins us to explore what Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is, its prevalence, symptoms, and rationality. The discussion provides valuable insights into effective treatment methods, including the use of higher doses of SSRIs and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.
