The Science Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD Huberman Lab Podcast 78

In this episode I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD a prevalent and debilitating condition I also discuss the efficacy and mechanisms behind OCD treatments both behavioral and pharmacologic as well as holistic and combination treatments and new emerging treatments including directed brain stimulation I explain the neural circuitry underlying repetitive thought-action loops and why in OCD the compulsive actions merely make the obsessions even stronger I review cognitive-behavioral therapies like exposure therapy and SSRIs holistic approaches and nutraceuticals detailing the efficacy of each approach and what science says about how to combine and sequence treatments I describe an often effective approach for treating OCD where clinicians use cognitive behavioral therapy CBT to deliberately bring patients into states of high anxiety while encouraging them to suppress compulsive actions in order to help them learn to overcome repetitious thought action cycles This episode should interest anyone with OCD anyone who knows someone with OCD or OCPD and more generally those interested in how the brain works to control thoughts and actions whether those thoughts are intrusive or not Thank you to our sponsors AG1 Athletic Greens a https 3A 2F 2Fathleticgreens com 2Fhuberman a Thesis a https 3A 2F 2Ftakethesis com 2Fhuberman a Eight Sleep a https 3A 2F 2Fwww eightsleep com 2Fhuberman a Supplements from Momentous a https 3A 2F 2Fwww livemomentous com 2Fhuberman a Social Website Instagram - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww instagram com 2Fhubermanlab a Twitter - a https 3A 2F 2Ftwitter com 2Fhubermanlab a Facebook - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2Fhubermanlab a TikTok - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww tiktok com 2F 40hubermanlab a Website - a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a Newsletter - a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a neural-network Subscribe to the Huberman Lab Podcast Apple Podcasts a https 3A 2F 2Fapple co 2F3thCToZ a Spotify a https 3A 2F 2Fspoti fi 2F3PYzuFs a Google Podcasts a https 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F3amI809 a Other platforms a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a follow Full show notes links to peer-reviewed articles a https 3A 2F 2Fhubermanlab com a the-science-and-treatment-of-obsessive-compulsive-disorder Timestamps 00 00 00 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder OCD 00 03 01 Momentous Supplements AG1 Athletic Greens Thesis Eight Sleep 00 08 28 What is OCD and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder 00 11 18 OCD Major Incidence Severity 00 15 10 Categories of OCD 00 21 33 Anxiety Linking Obsessions Compulsions 00 27 33 OCD Familial Heredity 00 29 10 Biological Mechanisms of OCD Cortico-Striatal-Thalamic Loops 00 39 36 Cortico-Striatal-Thalamic Loop OCD 00 46 39 Clinical OCD Diagnosis Y-BOCS Index 00 51 38 OCD Fear Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT Exposure Therapy 01 01 56 Unique Characteristics of CBT Exposure Therapy in OCD Treatment 01 10 18 CBT Exposure Therapy Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors SSRIs 01 22 30 Considerations with SSRIs Prescription Drug Treatments 01 25 17 Serotonin Cognitive Flexibility Psilocybin Studies 01 31 50 Neuroleptics Neuromodulators 01 36 09 OCD Cannabis THC CBD 01 39 29 Ketamine Treatment 01 41 43 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS 01 46 22 Cannabis CBD Focus 01 47 50 Thoughts Are Not Actions 01 51 27 Hormones Cortisol DHEA Testosterone GABA 02 00 55 Holistic Treatments Mindfulness Meditation OCD 02 03 28 Nutraceuticals Supplements Myo-Inositol Glycine 02 09 45 OCD vs Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder 02 20 53 Superstitions Compulsions Obsessions 02 31 00 Zero-Cost Support YouTube Feedback Spotify Apple Reviews Sponsors Momentous Supplements Instagram Twitter Neural Network Newsletter The Huberman Lab Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine nursing or other professional health care services including the giving of medical advice and no doctor patient relationship is formed The use of information on this podcast or materials linked from this podcast is at the user s own risk The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis or treatment Users should not disregard or delay in obtaining medical advice for any medical condition they may have and should seek the assistance of their health care professionals for any such conditions Title Card Photo Credit Mike Blabac - a https 3A 2F 2Fwww blabacphoto com a
