OCD, Intrusive Thoughts

Mette Christensen kept her OCD hidden for years and felt deep shame about it. The struggle against intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors was long and difficult - so difficult that she felt she might not survive it.

At this event, the 34-year-old Mette shares her personal story, including the other diagnoses she received along the way, before the full picture finally became clear. Psychologist Michelle Bachmann from the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Aarhus University Hospital also provides professional insight into OCD's symptoms and treatment.

Speakers:
• Mette Christensen, ambassador at EN AF OS
• Michelle Bachmann, psychologist, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department, Aarhus University Hospital
