I recently interviewed a college student who has OCD and I think the
interview would be of interest to students taking a class in
psychology since she is at (or about) their age. She talks about her
symptoms, the reaction she gets from other students and about the
treatment process she went through called Exposure and Response
Prevention. I end the episode with a brief summary of some recent
research indicating that there may be a connection between OCD and a
specific area in the prefrontal cortex. So the discussion ties into
both Disorders and Bio areas of psych. On my web site you'll find the
citation for the two articles regarding the prefrontal cortex (which
are quite interesting). The interview runs about 20 minutes, with
another 5 minutes on the prefrontal cortex connection. Here's the link:
