Even success didn’t bring relief, because OCD kept telling her she wasn’t doing enough — or being enough.Alex joins the Get to Know OCD podcast to talk openly about how that constant sense of wrongness affected her career and daily life, the moment she realized she couldn’t keep pushing through it alone, and what finally helped when she sought the right kind of treatment.NOCD specializes in exposure and response prevention therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD.
