ABOUT THIS EPISODE

A memory feels a little fuzzy, and suddenly OCD wants an answer. Did that really happen? Did you miss something? Did you do something wrong without realizing it? What starts as a small doubt can turn into hours of replaying events, checking old messages or photos, asking other people what they remember, or searching for some kind of proof that finally makes you feel certain. In this educational video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains how false memory OCD can trick you into distrusting their own memories.
