Hi Dr. Jud. I’m never early to these things! I have OCD/anxiety and I’ve been working to treat the symptoms but I’m starting to think I need to try and figure out WHY I have OCD/anxiety - maybe diving into my childhood. In your experience, is that journey worth it?

My dad, also a veteran who suffers from PTSD, tried to hang himself from a metal shelf in our laundry room. Never have I been so grateful for a shelf breaking. Much love your way, friend. You are doing a wonderful thing.

It’s really interesting you say that because part of the frustration that led to me wanting to find “the core” is that my obsessions are always changing! My OCD latches onto different things and it feels like a big game of whack a mole. I had an experience with one therapist where for the first time in 10 years of therapy she asked me a loooot about my childhood and it felt really intense - like I was no longer just scratching at the surface. Was wondering if I should seek that out again. Your comment had inspired me to do so despite the AMA answer
