Therapist Reacts To OCD Portrayals In Movies & Shows

For years, movies and TV shaped how people understood OCD — and for a long time, the portrayals got it ALL wrong. In this video, therapist Dr. Patrick McGrath sits down to watch some of the most well-known OCD scenes on screen. What he finds is a mix of half-truths, stereotypes, and the occasional glimpse of what real OCD actually feels like. Join Dr. McGrath on this watch-along featuring actors like Leo Dicaprio, Jack Nicholson, and more!
