In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Patrick McGrath, a renowned psychologist and Chief Clinical Officer for NOCD, to delve deep into the world of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Dr. McGrath debunks common myths, explains the true nature of OCD, and discusses the impact it has on people's lives. He also talks about the myths of positive thinking and how positive thinking really only works with action. Plus, why superstitions are bogus, how Dr. Patrick wants to raise awareness that a 'little' OCD doesn't exist. And, Dr. Patrick discusses pedophile OCD, is it a real thing? Can people have obsessive compulsive sexual thoughts and how to overcome them.

In this quick episode, I share what has been going on with the podcast and why I haven't been uploading. The truth is, that I am taking a step back from the show. I explain why and what comes next. Part of the episode is me reading off a post that I wrote, which you can read below. ------ I think it's time to let go of my podcast. Episode 1 of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast aired on 3/16/2016. Nearly 450 episodes later, I think it might be time to let it go. When I began the show, podcasting wasn't cool. This was before Huberman Lab and Diary of a CEO. This is before every influencer had their own podcast. I certainly wasn't one of the first podcasts, but I was in the cohort of podcasters that were influenced by Pat Flynn, Cliff Ravenscraft, and Daniel J. Lewis. Podcasts were the up and coming way to generate an audience and scale your craft. For me, this was a way to bring mental health content to the masses. In 2014, I released my first book, Hardcore Self Help: F**k Anxiety. I wrote this during my pre-doctoral internship at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. The book was written and published in a matter of a couple weeks, driven by my frustrations with the mental health field following my wife's hospitalization (more about that in my TedX talk). Since the market was not yet saturated with potty-mouth self-help books, it was a hit and quickly became my primary source of income. With the popularity of the book came emails and direct messages asking me questions. As someone who was working toward becoming licensed as a psychologist, it was important that I didn't give out direct advice to people in a private forum unless I had an established care relationship with the person. That's when I realized I could make my childhood dreams of having a newspaper advice column come true by starting a podcast. Truthfully, this was not my first foray into podcasting. I tried to start a podcast about the 90s with my friends called The Good Old Days, but that failed to launch. Then I had a podcast that ran for a good while called The Voices Among Us, in which I interviewed unhoused people on the street about their lives. Those experiences meant that I had the tools and knowledge necessary to launch the Hardcore Self Help Podcast. And man, has it been great. I have had the opportunity to answer questions about anxiety, relationships, sexuality, school, neuroscience, medications, abusive families, PTSD, depression, bipolar, autism, mushrooms, ketamine, queerness, blackness, multiculturalism, gender identity and so much more. I've been able have great conversations with Seth Godin, Dr. Andrea Letamendi, Kati Morton, Gary Bishop, Dr. Anna Yusim, Tiffany Jenkins, Jenn Harris, Dr. Patrick McGrath, Tony Weaver Jr., Dr. Judy Ho, Dr. David Burns, and many others. And yet, as the years of the podcast march on, the interest is waning. I will always have pride for being something of an O.G. in the mental health podcasting space, but as my wife said recently, it's important to make room for other voices and to not force something that isn't working. I wouldn't say the podcast isn't working, but it certainly isn't what it once was. At one point in time, I was getting enough listens to garner thousands per month in advertising revenue. These days, I'm lucky if an episode hits 5,000 listens in a month. To be clear, that is still a substantial amount, but for the hours that I put into the podcast, the decline in listenership over time becomes hard to justify at a certain point. Here's a graph from my podcast hosting platform so you can see what I mean: I worry a bit about coming off as ungrateful or just chasing numbers. Hopefully it's clear that I am immensely proud of what I've been able to do with the podcast and so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have a platform like this. I have a folder in my email with feedback from people that I have answered questions for, and trust me when I say there is no better pick-me-up on a rainy day than reading through some of them. However, ultimately, I need to figure out the best path forward for myself, for my career, and for my family. Unfortunately, a lot of that comes down to income right now. I need to make more money. While I get many benefits from continuing the podcast, it is no longer lucrative, and it takes up a great deal of time and mental space to maintain. As someone who always has my hands in many pies, I need to take a step back every so often to re-evaluate my priorities. To weigh the pros and cons of each facet of my career and life and determine where I should be increasing or decreasing my focus. Between my clinical work as a neuropsychologist and therapist, podcasting, writing books, giving professional talks, and being a presence for my family and loved ones, there isn't an obvious answer. But there is one that I am begrudgingly starting to admit to myself. I haven't even made an actual change yet, and I am already starting the grieving process. This project has been so incredibly important to me and central to my life. It's like letting go of a child. In fact, as I'm writing this, my 10-year-old just came in and told me that he doesn't want me to quit. Sigh… these choices are never easy. I should know – once upon a time, I wasn't known as Duff The Psych, I was known as the ASMRtist, Justawhisperingguy. And just like there are some OGs out there who have stuck around since my first ASMR videos, there will be OGs who are still with me a decade from now that started following me from my first podcast episodes. So, all of this begs the question: What now? I don't think I am going to be cutting off the podcast cold turkey. For one, I don't have any interest in getting rid of the entire back catalogue, so I'm not going to suddenly stop paying for my podcast host. I also may occasionally come back to post something on the podcast feed if I record an interview or have the bug to make some content. My Youtube channel will continue to be the primary platform where I release longform content. But it's time to take a big step back. It's time to find another avenue to continue building and engaging with my audience. It's time to put some effort into marketing my next book. It's time to stop stressing out because the kids are taking a long time to go to sleep or are being too loud so I can't record. It's time to take a deep breath and step off into the next stage of my life and career. Whatever the hell that may turn out to be. Love, Robert
OCD is one of the most misrepresented conditions in mental health. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath breaks down how everyday language, media portrayals, and even well-meaning comments create confusion and minimize the reality of what people with OCD actually go through. This isn't about nitpicking — it's about the real harm that comes from myths that are spread in mass.Need help treating OCD? Our specially-trained therapists can help.

After decades in the field, these two veteran therapists have seen it all — the stigma, the broken insurance policies, and the slow grind toward change. But now, they say, something real is happening. Mental health is finally being recognized for what it is: essential care. And the system is starting to reflect that — from better insurance parity to easier access through virtual platforms.In this episode, Dr. Patrick McGrath and Chris Novak pull back the curtain on the mental health industry. They talk about what's finally working, what still needs to change, and why finding the right therapist matters more than ever. Need help treating OCD? Our specially-trained therapists can help.

For many people with OCD, the path to getting diagnosed isn't quick — it's a journey that can take over a decade. In fact, the average time it takes to receive an accurate OCD diagnosis is 17 years. Dr. Patrick McGrath knows this all too well. In this video, he shares why OCD is so often missed, how even well-meaning therapists can overlook the signs, and what the actual diagnostic process looks like when done right.Through personal stories and clinical insight, Dr. McGrath walks viewers through the real markers of OCD — not just what you've seen in movies. He explains why intrusive thoughts and mental compulsions often go unnoticed, how shame and secrecy play a role, and what it finally takes to get the help you need. If you've spent years wondering what's really going on in your mind, this video might be the moment things finally make sense.If you're struggling with anything we covered in this video, our specialized therapists might be able to help.

When intrusive thoughts or strange sensations start taking over, a lot of people with OCD fear the worst — what if it's not OCD at all? What if it's something like psychosis or schizophrenia? In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains the critical differences between OCD, delusions, and hallucinations, why the fear of “what if it's not OCD” is so common, and how real insight plays a major role in telling them apart. If you've ever doubted your diagnosis, this breakdown will help you understand what's really going on.Struggling with intrusive thoughts? Our best-in-care therapists might be able to help.

What happens when your faith — the thing that's supposed to ground you — becomes the source of constant fear and doubt? For people with OCD, especially those struggling with scrupulosity, that's exactly what happens. In this episode, therapist Justin Hughes joins Dr. Patrick McGrath to talk about the painful cycle of obsessing over belief, salvation, sin, and certainty. They explore how OCD can make someone question their deepest values, fear damnation, or feel trapped in compulsions that masquerade as “being faithful.”But this isn't about losing your religion — it's about reclaiming it. Justin and Patrick break down how evidence-based treatment like ERP can help you step out of fear without abandoning your beliefs. They share stories from clients and their own lives, explain how therapy can honor faith rather than erase it, and make the case that healing doesn't require spiritual compromise — it requires clarity, compassion, and the courage to sit with doubt.Need someone to talk to about your intrusive thoughts?

The 2025 IOCDF Conference — starting July 10 in Chicago — is set to bring together clinicians, researchers, and individuals with OCD for a weekend focused on education, advocacy, and community. In this episode, Rebecca Deusser, Executive Director of the International OCD Foundation, talks with Dr. Patrick McGrath about what makes this event unique and why it has become such an important gathering for the OCD community. They discuss new initiatives for this year's conference, including expanded virtual access, increased programming for families, and a stronger emphasis on global outreach.Beyond the conference, Rebecca shares the IOCDF's long-term goals, from pushing for more research funding to improving access to treatment worldwide. With OCD still widely misunderstood and effective care difficult to find, the need for advocacy has never been greater. This conversation dives into how the conference plays a key role in breaking stigma, equipping clinicians with better training, and giving those affected by OCD the resources they need.For more information about the conference, please visit: https://iocdf.org/programs/conferences/Follow us on social media:https://www.instagram.com/treatmyocd/https://twitter.com/treatmyocdhttps://www.tiktok.com/@treatmyocdFollow us on social media:https://www.instagram.com/treatmyocd/https://twitter.com/treatmyocdhttps://www.tiktok.com/@treatmyocd
Most films and TV shows get OCD completely wrong. They reduce it to a quirky obsession with cleanliness or a need for perfect symmetry, missing the relentless, intrusive thoughts that actually define the disorder. But filmmakers Luca Pizzoleo and Conor Patrick Walsh — who both have OCD themselves — set out to change that. Their short film, O.C.D., isn't about neat freaks or excessive handwashing; it's about the unseen war happening inside the mind.In O.C.D., intrusive thoughts aren't just thoughts — they're real, tangible, inescapable. With a mix of psychological horror, dark humor, and brutal honesty, Conor and Luca pull viewers into the suffocating cycle of compulsions and anxiety that so many with OCD know all too well. The response has been overwhelming — millions of views, thousands of comments from people who finally feel seen — and hopefully, plans to expand the story into a full-length feature film.Both Conor and Luca sit down to talk with Dr. Patrick McGrath about living with OCD and the filmmaking process behind it — where the disorder was ever present.

“Even if we hear rumblings that NDAs are out there with third parties and private lenders are looking at assets,... we're still in a position where — why wouldn't they come back to us — because we have more to give,” said Patrick McGrath, partner at Anchorage Capital. “If I've invested in a structure and I have a group, I can give them more time. That's valuable. I can address interest rates. I can probably provide the money a little bit cheaper and I can give them certainty as opposed to them saying I'm going to finance the business away.” McGrath sat down with Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Phil Brendel and Negisa Balluku at the Wharton Restructuring & Distressed Investing Conference last month (8:00). He dove into the intricacies of liability management exercises, including the asymmetry of information, discerning whether “deals away” are credible, and the importance of institutional reputation. Prior to that, BI's Noel Hebert and Brendel discuss how March may shake up complacent high yield and syndicated loan markets. The podcast concludes with a BI roundtable discussion covering J&J, Franchise Group, Spirit Airlines, Yellow, Ardagh, WW International, and Serta Simmons (1:14:20).
Dr. Patrick McGrath shares a powerful story from his time running an intensive outpatient program, where four individuals — each convinced they had the most difficult case of OCD — were brought together to debate whose struggle was truly the hardest. As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that while their experiences were unique, they shared a common belief: their OCD was untreatable. Dr. McGrath challenges this mindset, revealing that no matter how severe or complex a case may seem, there is always a path forward. With modern treatments ranging from therapy and medication to advanced techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation, hope and healing are always within reach. This inspiring story reminds readers that the time spent believing in being "the hardest case" can instead be invested in recovery and progress.At NOCD, we specialize in ERP therapy.

In this inspiring episode of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Jordan Grumet, a hospice director, author, and podcast host, to explore how we can transform our lives by embracing the concept of “little p purpose.” Dr. Grumet shares insights from his latest book, The Purpose Code, which offers actionable strategies to uncover and build a meaningful life, regardless of your circumstances. Our conversation dives deep into the difference between “big P Purpose” (society's lofty, often unattainable ideals) and “little p purpose” (daily actions that bring joy and meaning). Dr. Grumet shares his personal journey—from losing his father at a young age to becoming a physician driven by unresolved trauma, to ultimately finding fulfillment by pursuing his passions for writing, speaking, and connecting with others. Key takeaways from our discussion include practical ways to recognize your purpose anchors, how to turn regrets into motivations, and why pursuing joy in small, intentional ways can lead to profound impact and lasting legacy. We also explore how Dr. Grumet's work in hospice has shaped his understanding of what truly matters in life, highlighting lessons from those at the end of their journeys. This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone feeling stuck, searching for meaning, or simply looking to live with more intentionality and joy.

What is OCD recovery avoidance? It's not about refusing treatment on purpose — it's about patterns of behavior that unintentionally keep someone from getting better.

Will Franky and His Pals find the gold? Will they learn the ways of love? Will Drak quench his thirst for human blood? Just how explosive is Franky's flatulence? What's that Mad Scientist tinkering on out in his barn? What the hell is a pee-pee? And does any of it really matter?
