Understanding Pure Obsessional OCD

Many people have heard of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but are completely unaware of the subcategories of OCD that exist.

On this episode of Calm, Cool and Connected we visit one of these categories, Pure Obsessional OCD. Our guest is Reed Rickards, a writer and copywriter who suffers from “Pure O OCD."

Key Takeaways from Liz’s chat with Reed:
