OCD Through the Generations: What’s Changed (and What Hasn’t)

Brenna Posey and Tracie Ibrahim grew up in very different eras, but both know the weight of OCD. In this conversation, they reflect on what it was like to struggle before OCD was widely understood, how stigma and silence shaped their experiences, and why so many people went undiagnosed for years.


They also share what’s changed — and what still hasn’t. From the rise of social media to greater access to therapy, awareness of OCD is growing, but gaps remain in diagnosis, treatment, and representation. Their stories reveal the progress across generations, and the work still remaining.


Both Brenna and Tracie have benefited from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective therapy for OCD. To explore treatment options, book a free 15-minute call at https://learn.nocd.com/YT
