Why You Can't Think Your Way Out Of OCD

Why You Can't Think Your Way Out Of OCD

When you have OCD, thinking can feel like the solution. You replay conversations, analyze your memories, research every possibility, and search for the one answer that will finally bring certainty. But no matter how much time you spend trying to solve it, OCD always comes back with another "what if?" In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains why rumination is one of OCD's most common mental compulsions, and why in the end, you can never outthink the disorder.


At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life. If you’re ready to take your first step, book a free 15-minute call with us at https://learn.nocd.com/YT
