Hi. I've just watched it. There were few positive bits explaining there are therapies and always things you can do. It was a sympathetic portrayal of the young people with ocd, and their families. It definitely highlights this condition without mocking it as channel 4 like to do. I thought it was a good documentary for spreading awareness.

I think so too

Yes it was absolutely brilliant...i too suffer frm intrusive thoughts and the OCD drives me to pick at my skin just like the girl in the prof. I learnt so much about myself by watching this excellent prog. It helpwd me so much. Much more than my idiot psychiatrist helps. X

I haven't watched it yet, but I am curious if it offered any alternatives to CBT? I have had terrible OCD most of my life and tried several CBT blocks and nothing has ever helped :-(
