Host(s): Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyTopic: "My OCD is kicking in," is something many of us say when we really mean that we can't stop the compulsion to straighten a picture or double check whether you locked the front door. Those things are not OCD. So what does it mean to actually live with obsessive compulsive disorder every day? It is no joke and can be a debilitating disorder that interferes with relationships, jobs and life in general. Today we'll be talking about what OCD is, how it presents and the treatments available.
