People rarely delay OCD treatment because they don’t want their lives to change — they delay it because the disorder has already been negotiating with them for years. OCD tells you you’re coping well enough, that starting treatment might make things worse, that you’ll lose control if you stop doing the very behaviors that feel like they’re keeping everything together. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains all the tricky ways OCD stops you from helping yourself (plus sings some Rick Astley along the way too).
