This researcher wants to expand treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder
Briefly

Around 2% of the population struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD, which translates to about 163 million people experiencing distressing obsessions and compulsions.
While media often misrepresents OCD symptoms, there's a much broader spectrum of how the disorder can manifest, and many symptoms remain under-recognized.
Dr. Carolyn Rodriguez emphasizes the need for diverse research on OCD as some patients do not respond well to traditional treatments, indicating a necessity for fresh therapeutic approaches.
Rodriguez is exploring alternative treatments, such as ketamine, and aims to widen the understanding and support for individuals battling OCD through her research.
