Alie Ward (@alieward) recently released two episodes of Ologies (@Ologies) focused on OCD, featuring IOCDF Co-Founder Wayne Goodman, MD, and OCD Wisconsin President Uma Chatterjee, MS, MHPS (@UmaRChatterjee).

In a powerful moment, Dr. Goodman describes a part of OCD that is often misunderstood: people with OCD know their thoughts are irrational — and yet, they still feel intense anxiety and the need to act on them.

"That’s what really struck me — the paradox between the irrationality of the thoughts, the excessiveness of the behaviors, and totally preserved insight and executive functioning." — Wayne Goodman, MD
