Totally agree that we need a more holistic look at mental health, especially in the US. Really scary about Kennedy incentivizing doctors to get people off SSRIs though. While I do think we overprescribe a bit, I think that losing access for people who really need it is a worse outcome! Thanks for sharing and solidarity in the OCD journey <3
I think mental health professionals desperately need a better understanding of OCD. It's pretty shocking how few really understand what it is and how complex it presents. I even had bad experiences with NOCD, which is supposed to be the online therapy place to go for people with OCD.

Yes, completely agree. Sorry about your experience with NOCD, I've never tried them but I know they are supposed to be the place to go.
Beautifully written and great advice!
Great advice from a lived experience
