    Beyond Devotion: The Mental Health Impact Of Religious Obsession

    • Synopsis: Scrupulosity, or religious OCD, is a specialized form of OCD that targets an individual's faith and moral values. This condition crosses the line into mental illness when obsessive fears about sin or salvation begin to negatively interfere with daily life. Our experts explain how to recognize the signs of scrupulosity and the specialized treatments that can help patients restore a healthy relationship with their faith.

    Guests:

    • Dr. Emily Bailey, psychologist, Atlanta OCD and Anxiety Treatment, LLC
    • Jaimie Eckert, scrupulosity patient & advocate

    Host: Elizabeth Westfield
    Producer: Kristen Farrah

He discusses the generational cycles of abuse and how we can end those patterns.
