In our new pre-print, my great collaborators @marion_rouault, @RuthJvanHolst, @JudyLuig and I investigated metacognitive functioning across various hierarchical levels in OCD patients and highly-compulsive individuals from the general population https://t.co/boFEsWzeWa (1/9)
Have you ever had an intrusive thought? 🗣Maybe an image of you doing something you would never do?
People with #OCD experience recurring intrusive thoughts. Also known as obsessions, but we don’t know how they get out of control 👇 #OCDweek
What do you know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
In sessions people with OCD confront their fears and are not allowed to perform their OCD rituals. This takes a lot of courage!
CBT has helped lots of people get better, but it doesn’t work for everyone👇
