Episode 52: Do I Have OCD? A Deep Dive on OCD Symptomatology, with Dr. Martin Hsia

I enjoyed having the opportunity today to "pick the brain" of Dr. Martin Hsia, a  Clinical Psychologist and expert in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We talked in-depth about many forms of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors commonly encountered with OCD. Dr. Hsia provides many examples of what differentiates "normal" thinking and behavior from OCD symptoms.

Dr. Hsia is the Clinical Director at the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center of Southern California (http://www.CBTSoCal.com). CBT SoCal is a group practice that specializes in treating people with Anxiety Disorders, most specifically Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in its various forms, as well as CBT for unique presentations such as Trichotillomania, Excoriation Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Insomnia, Tics, and Chronic Pain.

Dr. Hsia is a member of the International OCD Foundation, a Diplomate with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, and has lectured and supervised as Adjunct Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at USC Keck School of Medicine.
