OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by obsessions and compulsions. If you or someone you know is living with OCD, watch this short video to find out what the best non-medicated treatment is and if it’s right for you.

This video is brought to you by Columbia University's Center for OCD & Related Disorders. The mission at the Center is to improve the lives of people with OCD and related disorders by conducting cutting-edge research to transform how we understand and treat these disorders.

For the patients of today, they examine how to combine and sequence current treatments to maximize outcome, and how to explore novel treatments. For the patients of tomorrow, they collaborate with experts in neuroimaging, genetics, and basic science to examine what causes obsessions and compulsions.
