        <![CDATA[OCD and related disorders DSM 5 explained in plain language: Docs Tracey and Paul cover OCD in adults, OCD vs anxiety, and the symptoms families often miss.

The episode answers what obsessive compulsive and related disorders are, how obsessions and compulsions differ from everyday worry, and which conditions sit together in DSM-5-TR, the diagnostic manual clinicians use.

In this episode:
- What are obsessions and compulsions, and when do they become OCD?
- How common is OCD, what is the average age of onset, and when should families suspect it?
- How is OCD different from anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD)?
- Which conditions are included in obsessive compulsive and related disorders?
- What are common OCD symptoms in adults, including contamination fears, checking, counting, and intrusive thoughts?
- What is body dysmorphic disorder, and how does muscle dysmorphia fit?
- What do hoarding disorder, trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling), and excoriation disorder (compulsive skin picking) look like?
- What is the gold standard treatment for OCD, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and deep brain stimulation?

Resources mentioned: the OCD Foundation website, described as a good resource for people across the country, and Charlie Brady, PhD, named as an OCD expert.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Dr. Xavier Amador, founder of the LEAP Institute and originator of the LEAP® method, joins Docs Tracey and Paul to discuss anosognosia as a bona fide neurological symptom rather than a moral failing or simple denial. They describe the term's origin in early neurology and how contemporary research in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder shows consistent findings: executive dysfunction, frontal lobe impairment, and structural differences in the prefrontal cortex. When a person with a severe and persistent mental illness persistently asserts they are not ill for months, that assertion typically reflects a brain-based deficit in self-appraisal.</p><p>We also address the ethical and practical dilemmas of involuntary treatment. We acknowledge deep respect for individual rights while defending court-ordered outpatient treatment and carefully considered inpatient holds when judgment is impaired by brain disorder. We draw on lived experience and clinical cases where timely involuntary intervention prevented harm and later elicited gratitude. Training clinicians, law enforcement, judges, and families in LEAP principles is presented as a concrete means to reduce coercion and improve outcomes while preserving dignity.</p><p>Learn more about the LEAP Institute at leapinstitute.org.</p><p><strong>*DISCLAIMER:*</strong> This podcast discusses mental health topics that may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Dr. Xavier Amador, founder of the LEAP Institute and originator of the LEAP® method, joins Docs Tracey and Paul to discuss anosognosia as a bona fide neurological symptom rather than a moral failing or simple denial. They describe the term's origin in early neurology and how contemporary research in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder shows consistent findings: executive dysfunction, frontal lobe impairment, and structural differences in the prefrontal cortex. When a person with a severe and persistent mental illness persistently asserts they are not ill for months, that assertion typically reflects a brain-based deficit in self-appraisal.</p><p>We also address the ethical and practical dilemmas of involuntary treatment. We acknowledge deep respect for individual rights while defending court-ordered outpatient treatment and carefully considered inpatient holds when judgment is impaired by brain disorder. We draw on lived experience and clinical cases where timely involuntary intervention prevented harm and later elicited gratitude. Training clinicians, law enforcement, judges, and families in LEAP principles is presented as a concrete means to reduce coercion and improve outcomes while preserving dignity.</p><p>Learn more about the LEAP Institute at leapinstitute.org.</p><p><strong>*DISCLAIMER:*</strong> This podcast discusses mental health topics that may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Docs Tracey and Paul speak as clinicians and internationally regarded experts in treating bipolar disorder. They define the clinical poles of mania and depression and emphasize that many patients experience mixed states that combine elements of both. They review key diagnostic signs that help distinguish bipolar from unipolar depression: early onset in childhood, psychotic features in depression, postpartum psychosis, abrupt "light switch" changes in mood, poor or paradoxical response to antidepressants, and family history.</p><p>Tracey and Paul stress that "mania" is diagnosed by duration and change from baseline and that "hypomania" is subtler, but clinically important. They recommend a careful, structured history and collateral information from family or friends. Tracey explains the DIG-FAST mnemonic for mania to guide clinicians and families. They underscore the importance of sleep and circadian stability as triggers for mood shifts. The central message is that accurate diagnosis matters because the treatments and risks differ substantially between bipolar I, bipolar II, and unipolar depression.</p><p><em>DISCLAIMER: This podcast discusses mental health topics that may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.
