OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am NOT a doctor. I can answer O.C.D behavior related questions. I can advise how to cope with symptoms, and how to get the most out of your doctor's advice. I cannot answer medication related questions. Any statements resembling diagnosis are matter of opinion. Including your age, sex, what state or country you live in, etc. will help me better answer you. you can make any question private. Try to be as detailed as possible. I will try my best to give you helpful answers.
Experience in the area
After having disabling O.C.D. for most of my life, i have been noted as marginally recovered. I trained as a volunteer counseling assistant / peer in 2002 and 2006, at what was St. Joseph's Hospital M.H.U. in Lancaster, Pa, and Lancaster M.H.M.R.
Education/Credentials
Peer counseling training through Lancaster Assistance, and Lancaster M.H.M.R.
