Finally your healthcare professional delivers the three little words. Obsessive compulsive disorder.

You might have heard. “You have OCD.” Or “Your child has OCD.”

The diagnosis of OCD does not have magical powers. Your brain wiring is the same the day before and after a health care professional delivers the diagnosis.

However, the meaning you ascribe to the diagnosis and what you do with a diagnosis can radically transform your life.

So today, let’s discuss:

  • What is the value of an accurate diagnosis?
  • How and why do people use the diagnosis against themselves and do more harm than good?
