@DoctorDeibler Oh, Marla. Thank you for sharing. My thoughts are with you, with them, with everyone impacted by this.

Here is my story of getting over sensorimotor OCD that you may find helpful. It could also apply to other forms of #OCD.

@elliotpsych Such a great article on such a challenging issue!

When it comes to anxiety even the best strategies…

Exposure
Mindfulness
Acceptance
Diaphragmatic breathing
Exercise
Etc.

…will often backfire when they are fueled by a struggle to banish anxiety completely.

Check out my "25 Tips For Succeeding In Your Behavior Therapy" on the IOCDF website: https://t.co/kN9gQ0QcY6 It can give you a set of guidelines that will help you through treatment or give you something to refer to if you are doing self-help.

[Dr. Eric Goodman @DrEricGoodman]

Anxiety is designed to take over when it thinks you are under threat—making you react without thinking. If a bear is chasing you, you can’t stop and smell the roses—it makes you run. You don’t get a vote. Often doesn’t serve us well in modern daily life.

.@nypost We’re issuing this response today in regard to your recent article on OCD.

It is factually fraught, harmful, and not based in proven science. As a result, we would like to see it taken down.

In short: Do Better.

@jill_stoddard My sister is Jennifer. My cousin is Jennifer. My cousins, brothers, both married Jennifer’s. If you call, “Jen,” at one of my family gatherings, you’ll definitely get a response!

@jill_stoddard At first I read this wrong and was thinking,yay, left the wine opener. And then I re-read it and was like 🤦🏻‍♀️

“OCD is a serious condition,” not a cute quirk or a preference. Thank you Dr. @lynne_drummond ! #ocdawareness #Mentalhealth #SuicidePrevention

[BBC Morning Live @BBCMorningLive]

"OCD is a devastating condition that affects all areas of your life".

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most widely misunderstood mental health conditions. Leading expert Dr @Lynne_Drummond explains how in the worst cases it can lead to people losing their lives.

[Dr. Michelle Witkin @MichelleWitkin2]

I took this quiz by NOCD to test my knowledge of OCD, and you can too — check it out! Actually, it was pretty cool. https://t.co/0h3AOsWU9I #KnowOCD #OCD #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness
