Do yoga and read Geeta, and become union with nature
ERP therapy+ serotonin and risperidon, in 6 months to a year you are going to have an ok life
@@emilandreica7316 is this true_??
@@pabitrafun1344 yes i was in a worst , very severe ocd, intruzive thoughts all time a day. For at least 3 months is hard but after the condition gets better and better. I hope You well. Emil from Romania
this really helped me thank you
One of the best OCD TED talks I've seen. And I've seen A LOT. Great job!
Anne Swanson agree
It’s still stigmatized. People have weaponized mental health
Naming it is really a good way.
I had pretty terrible OCD. I dont know how severe it is as I dont know to what degree OCD hits other people. But, its almost gone and non existent today. The only things left is perfectionism and performance anxiety, which itself is the root cause of OCD. I aim to get rid of fear and perfectionism by accepting that Chaos is the way of nature. Everything starts from chaos and its good and even better and pragmatic to start ur work from chaos
It sounds very similar to what I experience. And I'm glad you've shared your positive outcome because I'm at the beginning of my journey out
I hate performance anxiety
I've just typed three replies here and had to delete them due to OCD.
Happens all the time,stay strong!
@@KBSrujan-vd3qw Yep, will do. After 54 years of OCD I've had to do plenty of that
@@a.o9656 Exposure and response prevention therapy is the strategy. After 54 years of suffering from OCD I can tell you it really does work.
Its hard, and you have to be a bit of a masochist and be prepared to take some anxiety, but it does work.
ERP is the best strategy I've found in 54 years. Dont expect a cure, but do expect to be able to control it rather than it controlling you.
@@martinw245 yes I know not yo expect a cure. Mine is all based on health anxieties. So I feel like I am exposured to it daily! This pandemic has been a real challenge. Thanks for responding. I'm hopeful hearing that it's worked for you
As a mom with OCD. I can’t help but cry hearing the story of her mother. What a gift her mother gave her. Coming to her child in non-judgment and letting her know they’d get through it together. What a gift.
What a gift mom gave to child?
This is one in a group of videos that has had me deciding to go talk to somebody about what I think might be my OCD. Thank you, this is been a success.
Can you add me that group?
@@swagatabiswas4737 hey :) didn't expect this to get a reply six years later - I don't have a proper group put together and don't remember which videos I was referring to, but if descriptions and experiences of OCD resonate with you, I'd really really recommend seeing if you can get a referral to see a psychiatrist or psychologist for an assessment. I was diagnosed with OCD in 2020 and was able to do Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) treatment over video call during the pandemic, and it helped so much with making my symptoms manageable for the first time. not every treatment works for everybody, but it doesn't have to be however hard it is right now
The best way to fully get over OCD is to undergo exposure and response therapy with a trained professional. It's tough, but is the best way to properly get rid of your OCD in a sustainable way.
Why aren’t there other therapies
wtf ??? you have know idea how terrified i was when she said she called her ocd oscar bc i call mine the same thing
I feel bad for people named Oscar.
rickcharmingtv oh my goodness poor Oscar :( hopefully I don’t develop harm ocd for him.
I am even suffering from this tarragon or monster , plz do exposure and response therapy, it is the only weapon through which you can conquer ocd.
@@kislaykumar4601 i am going to have this therapy soon...i am stucked and trapped inside this ocd. I am seeing a psychiatric but this is not working. Ocd controls my brain. I gotta have control on my brain. Everything is turning into dust all i can do is see stuffs falling apart. I have exam very soon and i cannot study. I repeat and rewrite same thing over and over and then i become anxious. I want to hurt myself but NO. Ocd is not who i am; its just a part of me. God damn!!! I am going crazy :((
@@alisonwilson3419 I hope you’re well.
wow, thank you sooo much for this video and sharing your experience
Writing has made my monster quieter
This is one of the best OCD TED Talks I’ve seen. My OCD’s name is Rebecca.

I'm glad that you came out with all the guts that it takes with OCD. I am in awe to hear that u have taken meds for only 2 yrs! I've been taking for over 30 and I have gotten worse. Guess I discovered it too late.
