Join your host, Nicole Morris, LMFT and Mental Health Correspondent, as she welcomes Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale, Ph.D., to our OCD Family Community. We discuss challenges and solutions for supporting military personal and veterans with OCD. Systemic barriers and stigma, the critical role of evidence based treatment, and a whole lot of hope is discussed. Lastly, we honor all service members and vets lost to un-aliving, as we pay tribute in honor of Memorial Day in the States.
