How OCD Changes Throughout Your Life

OCD doesn’t stay the same throughout your life — it changes, evolves, and adapts to new stressors and stages of life. In this episode, Dr. Patrick McGrath breaks down how OCD can manifest from childhood to adulthood, highlighting common themes like contamination fears, existential worries, and intrusive thoughts. Learn how OCD shifts across your lifespan, why it thrives on stress, and most importantly, what you can do to manage it at any age.
