I was diagnosed with OCD as a kid because of my obsessions and compulsive behavior. But my obsessions were about things I really liked and my compulsions didn't alleviate anxiety, they just felt really good to complete. I was diagnosed with autism later in life. I don't think I ever actually had OCD. 🤔

i had no idea it doesnt have to be both obsessions and compulsions, I mainly just have obsessions that cause a lot of anxiety

Hi Dr. Marks. Does this mean to say that if a person has a routine to stop ruminating, they have OCD?

Is this another potential indication for psychedelic therapy?

It can feel like you are in a mental prison sometimes 😢

Um, why did you show someone meditating and label it as a compulsion? One IT WORKS. And two, its a cure not a symptom.
