Dr Lynne Drummond: Everything you need to know about OCD (#341)

In episode 341 I chat Dr Lynne Drummond. Lynne is an honorary consultant psychiatrist at south west London and St George's NHS Trust, and visiting Professor at the University of Hertfordshire. We discuss her therapy story, her new book "Everything you need to know about OCD", the stigma around OCD, raising awareness around OCD, a historical view of how OCD has been viewed, working with patients who have struggled with treatment in the past, how Lynne and her team were able to help these patients, medication, how Lynne explains exposure and response prevention (ERP), optimising ERP, living with uncertainty, and much more. Hope it helps.  Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/lynne-drummond-341 Get 20% off Lynne's new book at cambridge.org/EverythingOCD.
