Why Your OCD Spikes Out of Nowhere

Why Your OCD Spikes Out of Nowhere

OCD flare-ups can feel random, like something just flipped overnight, but when you look closer, there’s usually a build-up. A stressful week, bad sleep, a life change, even something small that threw off your routine. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath walks through the patterns behind those spikes and why OCD tends to show up strongest when your system is already under pressure.
