Lily Bailey and Understanding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

In this episode, Professor Rory and Craig spoke to mental health activist and author Lily Bailey. At age 16, Lily was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, although her first experiences with OCD occurred during childhood. 

Recently, Lily released the children’s book, ‘When I See Blue’, about a young boy and his struggles with OCD.

In this thorough conversation, they discussed the misconceptions about OCD, whether writing can be cathartic, and the potential future of OCD treatments.
