Jeffrey Schwartz, M.D. is a psychiatrist from UCLA who is a serious Buddhist mediator who wrote a book, " The Mind and the Brain..." who discovered, through his meditation practice, a non-drug, treatment for OCD that does not require many sessions to teach the OCD patient, and it blows ALL existing, standard of care for OCD out of the water. He published his results in peer-reviewed journals but non-drug treatments are marginalized by the medical community. BigPharma, for which I worked for years, OWNS the medical profession.

I’m SO glad that you said to look at the symptoms (primarily), over the dx. I had heard since the (alleged) politicization of the DSM-5, that the NIMH and many other orgs expressed the desire to move away from such Dx. driven specifications. Yes, needed for “some” insurance coverage needs and/or county mental health assistance-but also a possible hindrance. It would be really interesting to look at it more from the neurotransmitter perspective-just as you’re saying about dopaminergic issues. So, if it were called dopaminergic clustering spectrum…as opposed to the the whole DSM array, for insurance (including the same nomenclature for Serotonin; norepinephrine, etc). Insurance has been so problematic in ppl gaining access to good mental health. Where I live, psychiatrists have not taken insurance for the last decade. Plus, they are akin to the old-school psychiatrists, where they spend anywhere from 25 minutes to over an hour with the client (not each time-spread out over the year.)

Thank you Dr. Snipes for doing this informative video. I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and have learned that OCD is a symptom of BPD. Spending money or physical harm are parts of my OCD. Compulsively spending money or self harm has brought upon a dopamine rush when acting on these behaviors. Through DBT and your videos, i have learned mindfulness and distress tolerance skills to be aware of the way I am feeling both physically and mentally in the moment and how to improve the moment.

[@DocSnipes]

I am sorry about that and am glad the videos have helped. What tips from the video will you use to address OCD?

[@billthelen6524]

@@DocSnipes Whenever I have a thought about spending money or self harm, I will first take time to breathe deeply. At times I have found it useful to do behavior chain analysis. The mnemonic TAGS is a great way to remember the distress tolerance skills. I particularly like guided imagery and self-soothing.

[@melissaspratt195]

I appreciate you including trichotillomania. I have struggled with this my entire life and not many people know anything about it. Do you have any other videos that go more into depth on this particular topic?

[@benbarton5913]

An incredibly insightful video! I'm currently doing an assignment on OCD for my psych degree and you have been so helpful for my understanding, especially the diagnostic criteria! Thank you 😍

[@DocSnipes]

So welcome. I appreciate you watching.

[@BrownTownOTS]

Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed with OCD at a young age but was always told I dont really have it because I am very disorganized. But now I realize everything that made me feel like my mind is a torture chamber was because of OCD.. I wish more than anything I could have seen this video at 10 years old. I may have been able to learn coping skills but instead I was put on drugs which made me feel worse which I believe ultimately led to a debilitating poly substance addiction that I will likely die from.

[@DocSnipes]

So sorry to hear. I hope you find the help and skills to get better. Thanks for watching! Wishing you peace, health, and, happiness.

[@kimalonzo3363]

Oh wow, thanks! I have a lot of interest on this topic.

[@hollywoodjaded]

OCD is neurobiological, so listen to the doctor’s complete presentation. The disorder is not specific to any one condition/thing. Further, a premise for the cause of OCD should not necessarily be based on one’s single anecdotal experience. The doctor is imparting valuable and documented data about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. (Also: Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder-within the DSM-is a separate clinical dx. The doctor may cover the PD issue, but I wanted to comment on anecdotal information-which is the experience of a single individual.)

[@mohammedchebli5891]

I just want to add that compulsive praying co-morbid to Alzheimer Disease Spectrum, for Muslim elders , may be an OCD more than a consequence of ADS. Treatment should focus on stopping this vain behavior for more memory exercising and creative activities.

[@jakeegolf2580]

My family has a “hair twirling” or “twisting” behavior that spans 3 generations. I don’t do it much anymore but my brother does it while watching tv, reading or thinking intensely. The action is taking a small bunch of the hair end, and rolling it over and under the index finger nail. Is that tricatillimania or just stimming? I have adhd. Pretty sure my siblings and father do as well.

[@amandasmith3182]

Trich- it’s more of pulling and obsession with the texture and trying to remove it pulling . I know someone who pulls and picks,

[@noradawn4434]

Nope, that's not trichotillomania. This disorder involves noticeable hair loss and intense distress over the behavior itself.

[@ericnl4491]

Very helpful ! Is relationship OCD also a part of OCD -DSM5 ?

[@noradawn4434]

Relationship OCD is a type of OCD, yes. However, those categories are unofficial and are used by people suffering from the disorder to help categorize their particular OC symptoms.

[@josephautrey954]

With exposure and response therapy and the mental contamination cognitions that are addressed, are clients able to distinguish different pathogens from covid? Meaning, if they're aware the bacteria during the exposure is not covid does that help address to cognition?

[@DocSnipes]

I am not sure how they can be certain it is not covid. Germs are everywhere viruses are often airborne and stay on surfaces for a period. It doesn't mean the immune system can't fight it off. Changing the thoughts to ones of empowerment and what can be done to prevent getting sick from any bacteria and, when those precautions are followed, the likelihood that they will get sick even if they are in contact with it.

[@Syclama]

Hello there, interesting subject👍

[@tanyayasmin6101]

Does ocd also have specifers? How does that makes the disorder more appropriate?

[@sundaewhore]

Yes. It does. Specifiers such as 1. With good or fair insight 2. With poor insight 3. With absent insight/delusional belief, can determine how severe or manageable someone's OCD is. And what appropriate approach or treatment should be given to someone diagnosed with OCD. Example: With good insight - the individual believes that the house definitely will not burn down, probably will not burn down, may, or may not burn down if the stove is not checked 30 times." With poor insight - "the individual believes that the house probably will burn down if the stove is not checked 30 times." With absent insight/delusional insight - "the individual is convinced that the house will burn down if the stove is not checked 30 times." Additionally, another specifier is that if someone has a history of tic disorder. I learned this during my study for the psychologist board exam btw

So if I have anxiety or depression I can’t have OCD?

[@10ison]

I have been diagnosed with all 3 of those at separate times throughout the course of my life. It was GAD (Generalized anxiety & depression) at a young age and OCD in 2020. I Think I have ADHD though and those are symptoms of it. I've always accelled at visual art and music and my first therapist thought I had ADHD but I was a little too difficult back then for them to pinpoint it, so they said GAD and gave me Prozac. I'm not too sure though what is going on, all of that is extremely complex.

[@andrzejsati3861]

I think OCD is mostly conected to Christianity and its culture of suppression of "dirty emotions and sex"

[@amandasmith3182]

Wow, that’s out there,

[@christinapatz8510]

Huh? This makes no sense.

[@10ison]

That's a stretch but I know what you're talking about. The sexual obsessions and anxiety are real. And your culture can definitely impact that.
