Discussion thread: OCD Neurobiology is up! (Patreon)

This episode is up and published, and you can listen wherever you get podcasts.

We asked you, Patrons, last year what your top requested episodes were and they were:

#1 Menopause and

#2 a tie between Elephants and OCD.

Well, Menopause and elephants are being scheduled (one doctor needs to wait until November and our elephant expert is in the field.)

BUT OCD IS HERE. And we got possibly the world's finest expert to chat with us for an hour and cover symptoms, etiology, myths, misconceptions, diagnosis and treatment options for OCD, as well as advice for loved ones. Also: medications, deep brain stimulation, and the gold standard for therapy, ERP.

Whether you've listened or not, feel free to chat about it below.

Yours in mental health,

Old Father of the Pod, Alie Ward

--- Post-post-secret: I told myself that if I turned in the episode early yesterday then I could bounce in the evening for a quick overnight camping trip -- which we did! Your podmother and I took a few snacks and a tent about 30 miles up a local mountain and stargazed, then woke up, had coffee in the woods and came home. On the way back down the mountain this morning, I got a text that Ologies was named in Time Magazine's Top 100 Podcasts of All Time. I thought the screenshot Travis sent (attached) was a joke. FRONT AND CENTER? TIME MAGAZINE?! When I clicked the link on my phone, Jarrett and I both burst into tears. It feels surreal that this show I started for $500 8 years ago has been going so long and I still get to make it. I couldn't do it without you, Patrons, and the lovely Ologies team making it with me each week: Susan, Noel, Jake, Mercedes, Travis, Erin, Aveline, Kelly, Jarrett and others over the years. Thanks for being here.
