OCD (Pt 1): The hidden reality and a new way out | Health Check Podcast | S1E144

Listen to OCD Part 2: 4-day treatment and the Bergen approach - https://str.sg/hZaB

OCD is more than a quirk. Obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD is often misunderstood. Although the term OCD is often used casually, it is a potentially severe disorder that can drastically disrupt a person's life. 

However, it is highly treatable. Yet, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated for years.

To learn more about OCD, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo talks to two psychologists who specialise in the treatment of OCD for a two-part series on what the disorder is about and how a new treatment can help.

They are  Dr Jackki Yim, Principal Clinical Psychologist & Deputy Head of Anxiety Service, Department of Mood & Anxiety at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and Ms Tammie Kwek, Senior Clinical Psychologist, Department of Mood & Anxiety, IMH.

Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.
