Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Dr Scott Blair-West

Wednesday, 15 August 2018 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

Today on the show we interviewed Dr Scott Blair-West, a consultant psychiatrist who specialises in anxiety disorders. We discussed what Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is, how it presents itself and the interventions available for those affected by it. We also talked a little bit about the stigma that surrounds OCD and how it can negatively affect individuals.

For more information on OCD and other anxiety disorders, please head to either the ARCVIC or ADAVIC websites. You can also use the Your Health In Mind website to find mental health information and psychiatrists in your area.

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
