Location: ZOOM





Event Description

This one-hour Zoom presentation provides an overview of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), focusing on its subtypes and how the disorder can be accurately differentiated from other anxiety and related conditions. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how OCD manifests beyond common stereotypes, including presentations such as harm, contamination, symmetry, and intrusive taboo obsessions. The session also introduces the foundational principles of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for identifying OCD patterns and an introductory understanding of how ERP supports recovery.
