In this episode, Armand DiMele discusses the challenges of organization in life, exploring the balance between the concrete and abstract aspects of our existence. Joined by psychiatrist Sherri Siegel, they delve into obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and its nuances, including the spectrum of symptoms and the psychological underpinnings of the disorder. They examine how individuals with OCD often recognize their irrational behaviors yet feel compelled to act on them.
