Today, we deep-dive into OCD - Obsession Compulsive Disorder - and discuss symptoms, treatment options, and the impact OCD can have on your everyday life. Our two guests include photographer Dallas Curow, who recently started sharing her story about OCD, and Farah Zerehi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. She’s a specialist who works with OCD patients and has OCD herself!
