This is a great video. He explains it so well. This ocd is so hard to live with, mine stems from a traumatic experience and I have so many intrusive thoughts and fears. God I hope everyone heals from this suffering.

By far the best presentation/conference I’ve come across. It’s so reassuring knowing that there is people out there that get it! Thank you for this video. See you soon

Absolutely, OCD sits on top of anxiety!

Guys don't give up please, it all starting like 2 months ago with an random thoughts and it was hell, the anxiety was hell i had thoughts about becoming an serial killer or schizoprenic or even being possesed or having epilepsy. I didn't knew what was wrong with me i was for sure thinking that i was going insane. Until i did my research and i realized that i had pure O. After that i've realized that i don't need to worry about the thoughts anymore and to look at them like something that is not a part of me but an random thing the brain trows at me. Now my anxiety have calmed down drastically but i still have the compulsions like doubting my thoughts, ruminating, trying to explain eveything or even characterized myself with other people that are serial killers or having those illines (this is gone now btw), i realized that i'm rational and i don't need to fear my thoughts anymore. Now the thing i need to do is to remove the compulsions and the best thing i do to make them go away are distractions, i started to learn photoshop and learning another language. If your fighting this i know what you are going through i know all the sweating the thoughts racing in your mind the doubt of your sanity but it can be done, you can get rid of this devil you just need to realized that your thoughts are not part of you, look at them like clouds up in the sky not part of you, because in your soul you know that you are fine and you are rational and would never do anything wrong or hurt or abuse anyone. And for the compulsions try and find an hobby, get out with friends, play some video games who cares if it hurts if that thing makes you happy do it because you know it will make you feel better. Btw sorry for any triggers in this comment. Live your life and be gratefull for the things you got because remember it could've been much worst.

As a life long ocd sufferer, i gotta say this presentor was spot on. Thanks for this awesome presentation

This guy spoked into my life and saved me

What a fantastic, kind and helpful speach.

Great presentation. more of these need to be on youtube

I'm tired of people saying It's my OCD like a badge of honour.

Thank you for the video. For those of us who already know a lot about ocd but want helpful tools to deal with it, it would be great to have timemarkers to just go straight to those.

Great video, very helpful!

I love this guys attitude-very in charge, rebellious against the status quo of knuckle head/should be sued for malpractice psychiatric practitioners. I have had ocd for a long time & have had a lot of bad advice.

Please do not listen to the other commenters on this video.

I recovered from OCD and you can definitely recover. Do ERP as much as possible and refuse reaction.

BRAVO!!!1- this is helpful!!!

Thank you Sarosh.

Excellent! Thank you!

It was so great to listen to this, but so distressing as well. I've dealt with Scrupilosity since I was 5. It kinda rotates around with all the awesome intrusive thoughts (sarcasm). This condition has tortured me my whole life. The worst part is the existential stuff. Mix a little of damnation teaching with OCD3 and it's a great way to get admitted to the hospital. Thanks again for the great information. I wish somehow that my family could see just a little of the stuff rolling around in my head. I'm actually now disabled due to a downturn and depression that started 10 years ago. I feel like so much of my life is just in the crapper due to these issues. It's nice to know I'm at least not alone, but it also makes this road look so damn long and I'm so tired.

Mine is if I don’t tap something a certain amount of Time or do something multiple times or go back to something and make sure it’s right my brain has a thought that over the years has became a giant thought of everything bad that could happen and it also annoys very much, kinda hard to explain. and yes when this guy said people with ocd have other things like anxiety or depression is true. Mine started in second grade and just got worse from there my parents always thought I would outgrow it but I never did. It basically effects everything you do in life.

Fantastic video and explanation on OCD.
