i’m so glad they’re doing ted talks at high schools and i hope they start doing them everywhere! These kids need to learn about mental health and how to cope. I wish i learned about my anxiety as a high schooler.
Hi Heather! I’m so glad you enjoyed my presentation. You have my enthusiastic support to appropriately quote and attribute my presentation. Best of luck in school!
The book from Dr Jeffrey Schwartz 'Brain Lock' has helped me greatly in starving the OCD monster. ERP therapy can help you take control over time as you realize you can ignore the compulsions and after time the anxiety will lessen greatly. Your mind is more powerful than your brain. The intrusive thoughts will be there but if you ignore the compulsions the thoughts will move on as your anxiety lessens and your brain unlocks. Starving the monster works. The pictures of the brain that she shows in her presentation are from the study that Dr Jeffrey Schwartz conducted at UCLA in the earlier 2000's. His book Brain Lock explains what is happening in the frontal cortex to cause those spikes on the MRI. The best thing is that OCD can mostly be overcome by yourself armed with knowledge on how to proceed.
Brain lock feels like I actually identifies what it feels like like the brain locks to something until you do the thing you need to do is what it feels like for me cheers as a person who suffers with OCD I just called the police plus charged my mum with abuse so it’s really to discover what it is or what it is not cheers all the best cheers it feels so painful to have to deal with cheers all the best cheers
If anyone had trouble with how fast she speaks I slowed playback speed to 0.75x and it was perfect.

I liked that she addressed perfectionism
I've suffered since age 8. I'm now 54. In my time NOONE understood it. Oh the stories I could tell. It's horrible
Can't imagine. I'm 20 myself, developed it at 18 and then found about at 19 thanks to the time I'm growing in.
This is by far the best talk I’ve seen on this topic!
I have green eyes and OCD as well! I finally feel so special about something! 💚💚💚
Nice presentation,I think you will be very successful in whatever career path you choose,thanks for the inspiration and helping us understand OCD.
