Matching Treatment: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State

A person touches a doorknob and does not wash, until the anxiety falls on its own.
Watch for
Exposure without preventing the compulsion does not work. The relief is what maintains the cycle.
